[Role of Ca ions and protein kinase C in the action of vitamin E on respiratory burst of neutrophils and blast transformation of lymphocytes].

Abstract

It was shown that vitamin E decreased the stimulating role of oxidative burst activators which influenced on Ca(2+)-dependent mechanisms (A23187, verapamil, FMLP). Jointly addition of this vitamin and blood plasma contained tocopherol-binding proteins influenced on mechanisms associated with protein kinase C. It was shown that Ca ions can also take part in tocopherol's action on blast transformation of lymphocytes.
