Tocopherol Evion Evion has an antioxidant effect is involved in the biosynthesis of heme and proteins cell proliferation tissue respiration and other critical processes of tissue metabolism prevents hemolysis of red blood cells prevents increased permeability and capillary fragility This medication fills a shortage of Evion Inhibits free radical reactions prevents the formation of peroxides that damage cellular and subcellular membranes Stimulates the synthesis of heme and heme containing enzymes hemoglobin myoglobin cytochromes catalase and peroxidase Improves tissue respiration stimulates the synthesis of proteins collagen enzymes structural and contractile proteins of skeletal and smooth muscle the myocardium protects against oxidation of vitamin A Inhibits the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids and selenium a component of microsomal electron transport system Inhibits the synthesis of cholesterol From the gastrointestinal tract is slowly absorbed about 50 the highest level in the blood after 4 hours for absorption requires bile acids In the process of absorption forms a complex with lipoproteins which are intracellular carriers of Evion Comes mainly in the lymph then in the general circulation where it binds primarily to alpha 1 and beta lipoprotein in part to serum albumin When metabolic protein transport is difficult Deposited in the adrenal glands pituitary testes fat and muscle tissue erythrocytes and liver Undergoes metabolism and is excreted from the body in unmodified form and as metabolites in bile 90 and urine about 6
