Tissue vitamin E levels were significantly lower in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) than in the normotensive, genetically related Wistar/Kyoto (W/K). This difference was also observed when animals were given identical oral doses of vitamin E. The possible relationship of lower vitamin E tissue levels to lower immune responses in the SHR is discussed.
