Fundamental to our theories of the physiological action of vitamin E, and to our attempts to evaluate the nutritional status of the vitamin, is an understanding of the dynamics of the vitamin in body tissues. In spite of 30 years or more of investigation. we still do not have a clear picture of the rates at which different tissues lose vitamin E during depletion or accumulate it when it is continuously present in the diet. In the case of depletion, Witting and colleagues' found that in rats, the whole body concentration of a-tocopherol, when depleted from weaning on, fell precipitously for four weeks then declined at a much slower rate. The loss of tocopherol was similar in rats fed saturated or unsaturated fat. Draper and Csallanyz reported that in rats and rabbits fed a deficient diet, liver a-tocopherol decreased rapidly for several weeks, then reached a plateau, whereas the muscle concentration of a-tocopherol declined much more slowly. Studies of vitamin E accumulation in the body, though more numerous, have generally been restricted to one tissue or have considered only one or two points in The present studies were designed to fill these gaps in our knowledge of vitamin E metabolism. We have examined six tissues, at intervals, in both young and mature rats undergoing vitamin E depletion for seven to ten weeks. For the repletion (or accumulation) studies, seven tissues from young rats fed three dietary levels of a-tocopherol were analyzed at intervals of up to 25 weeks.
