A review of the literature about the role of vitamin E supplementation on diabetic nephropathy is performed, also describing the underlying antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and metabolic mechanisms to evaluate the possible use of tocopherols and tocotrienols in

The intake of vitamin C and vitamin E supplements effectively reduced dysmenorrhea severity and improved dyspareunia and severity of pelvic pain, and support the potential role of antioxidants in the management of endometriosis.
The results support a biologically plausible rationale whereby these nutrients work synergistically, and in a dose-dependent manner, to improve working memory in cognitively healthy older adults.

There is currently insufficient evidence to support a potential beneficial effect of vitamin E supplementation on improvements of HbA1c and fasting glucose and insulin concentrations in subjects with T2DM.
The purpose of the present meta‐analysis is to investigate the effects of vitamin E supplementation in biochemical and histological parameters in adult patients with NAFLD.
Vitamin E supplementation to hyperthyroid animals limits the thyroid hormone-induced increases in mitochondrial ROS and oxidative damage, and prevents the reduction of the high functionality components of the mitochondrial population induced byhyperthyroidism,
