ABSTRACT
It is shown that alpha-tocopherol in vitro stimulates respiration of the liver mitochondria in E-hypovitaminosis rats only in the presence of the specific protein factor isolated from the liver cytosol. The action of alpha-tocopherol on mitochondria in the presence of NAD and a protein factor is not accompanied by an increase in the NADH level, that evidences for the absence of the direct redox interaction between NAD and tocopherol.
