Introduction Children with cystic fibrosis (CF) have lipid maldigestion due to pancreatic insufficiency, which causes malabsorption of fat-soluble vitamins. The primary objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of vitamin E deficiency among children with CF. The secondary objective was to examine the correlation between vitamin E levels with demographic data, laboratory findings, and the number of pulmonary exacerbations.

Surprisingly, in a genetic mouse model of colon tumors, the deletion of GPX4 specifically in colon epithelial cells increased tumor burden but decreased oxidized glutathione. Notably, this specific GPX4 deletion did not enhance susceptibility to dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in mice with varied iron diets but showed vulnerability in mice with a vitamin E-deficient diet.

Unlabelled: Tocopherols (Tocs) are a kind of lipid-soluble substance required for the normal physiological function of mammals, particularly their antioxidant capacity. Rapeseed () oil is an important source of exogenous Tocs. However, the genotypic differences in the total Toc contents, the Toc composition in the seeds, and the molecular markers associated with the seed Toc remain largely unknown.

The close interaction between male germ cells and Sertoli cells, a type of somatic cell found in the seminiferous tubules of mammalian testis, is essential for the normal progression of spermatogenesis in mammals. Vimentin is an intermediate filament protein that primarily provides mechanical support, preserves cell shape, and maintains the nuclear position, and it is often used as a marker to identify Sertoli cells. Vimentin is known to be involved in many diseases and aging processes; however, how vimentin is related to spermatogenic dysfunction and the associated functional changes is still unclear.
