Spectrophotometric method for determination of tocopherol in red blood cells.

Abstract:

:A relatively rapid procedure is described for the spectrophotometric determination of total tocopherol in red blood cells (RBC) based on a modification of the original Emmerie-Engel reaction. The critical feature in this method is the presence of a large amount of an added antioxidant, pyrogallol or ascorbic acid, during the saponification and extraction stages and the use of thin-layer chromatography for tocopherol purification. The total tocopherol levels of plasma and erythrocytes were determined for a number of human subjects, for patients with abetalipoproteinemia, and for rats. It was found that these levels had a wide range in normal human subjects but that the ratio of RBC to plasma tocopherol was relatively constant and equal to 0.18, uncorrected, and 0.21 when both RBC and plasma values were corrected to 100% recovery. The RBC-to-plasma ratio for rats was 0.39. The accuracy of this ratio determined by the spectrophotometric procedure was verified by measuring the distribution of [(14)C]tocopherol in RBC and plasma when radioactive vitamin E was introduced into the blood by both in vitro and in vivo techniques. The addition of radioactive tocopherol to RBC or plasma at the initial stage of the analysis permits an accurate determination of the total tocopherol in RBC or plasma by calculations based on the recovery of the added isotope. This procedure for erythrocyte tocopherol analysis is compared with a gas-liquid chromatographic method in current use.
