A study on the relation of plasma- and RBC-tocopherol to plasma lipids and adiposity led to the following findings. Plasma tocopherol increased in parallel with increased plasma total lipid and beta-lipoprotein levels, while RBC tocopherol levels had little cor-relation with those of plasma lipids or β-lipoproteins. The RBC-to-plasma tocopherol ratio decreased with increased plasma lipids and -lipo-proteins. Though the relations of HDL-cholesterol, total lipids and f3-lipoproteins to RBC tocopherol levels resembled each other, those of HDL-cholesterol to plasma tocopherol levels and RBC-to-plasma to-copherol ratios differed greatly from the relationship in total lipids and β-lipoproteins, especially the RBC-to-plasma ratios which had no definite pattern. Plasma tocopherol was unrelated to obesity grade, while the RBC tocopherol and RBC-to-plasma tocopherol ratios decreased with in-creased obesity.
