A rapid and precise method for the determination of fat-soluble vitamins from a water-based multivitamin mixture was developed utilizing solid-phase extraction and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Cholecalciferol, alpha-tocopherol acetate, and retinol palmitate were extracted in a single stage from the matrix using Bond Elut C18 columns. The vitamins were then chromatographed on a Hypersil 5-microns C18 column, using a water:methanol gradient, and quantified simultaneously using individual UV absorption maxima. The recovery of added analytes varied from 92.6 to 100.6%. The assay coefficient of variation was 1.7-2.7%. The sample preparation method and HPLC assay described here are practical for pharmaceutical quality control purposes.

In this study, the influence of tannic acid (TA)/soluble potato starch (PS) mass ratio and PS concentration on TA/PS complexes and emulsions stabilized by TA/PS complexes were studied. The size, hydrophobicity and emulsifying properties of TA/PS complexes were all controlled by TA/PS mass ratio and PS concentration. In detail, the hydrophobicity of PS (θ = 48°) improved after complexing with TA to form TA/PS complexes (θ = 64°).

α-Tocopherol (αtoc, vitamin E) is an essential nutrient sufficiently acquired through a balanced diet. This fat-soluble vitamin is most known for its antioxidative properties, however, its fundamental mechanism of action in cellular membranes remains unknown. To this end, we use time-resolved small angle neutron scattering (TR-SANS) and a contrast matching scheme to determine intervesicular exchange (k) and intrabilayer flip-flop (k) rates of αtoc in 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) vesicles.

Introduction: Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a fat-soluble vitamin-like quinone. The plasma levels of CoQ10 are reduced in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). CoQ10 supplementation can improve mitochondrial function and decrease oxidative stress in these patients.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide, with no cure at present. Vitamin D (VD) is a fat-soluble vitamin, which has been recognized as one of the major influencing factors of T2DM. However, the specific relationship between T2DM and VD remains elusive.

Whether the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K are associated with development of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation, is unclear. We assessed if the levels of these vitamins were associated with development of GvHD during the first year after transplantation using data from a two-armed randomized nutritional intervention trial. Changes in plasma levels during 1-year follow-up were analyzed using a linear mixed model for repeated measurements.
