Title: alpha-tocopherol beta-oxidation localized to rat liver mitochondria

Summary: "unexpected finding was that alpha-CEHC, the end product of alpha-tocopherol metabolism, was found almost exclusively in mitochondria. These data are the first to indicate a mitochondrial role in alpha-tocopherol metabolism."
