Relation of Serum ^|^alpha;- and ^|^gamma;-Tocopherol Levels to Cardiovascular Disease-Related Mortality Among Japanese Men and Women

Abstract

Among women, hemorrhagic stroke mortality was inversely associated with serum α-tocopherol and positively associated with serum γ-tocopherol. These findings are due in part to the antioxidative and antithrombotic activities of these tocopherols.
