| Abstract: | The stability of alpha-tocopherol concentrations in sheep, cattle, and pig blood and plasma stored at different temperatures was examined. For all species, the vitamin was stable for at least 6 days in plasma stored at -20 C, 4 C, and 25 C and in blood stored at 4 C and 25 C. For sheep and cattle, the vitamin was stable for at least 6 days in plasma stored at 37 C, but it was unstable in blood from all species stored at 37 C and in pig plasma stored at 37 C. |
