Stumbled upon this study in mice while reading about Vitamin E
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/ar ... 8011004982
Apparently CLA induces the alpha-tocopherol transfer protein (a-TTP) which improves Vitamin E uptake into tissues. The tissue content of Vitamin E in liver and adipose tissue was as high after adding CLA to a soy-oil baseline diet as directly supplementing Vitamin E.
So Vitamin E tissue status is not only determined by how much Vitamin E you supplement but also by the expression of the a-TTP, which can be influenced by CLA-PUFA.
Improving Vitamin E tissue status could be one of the many beneficial functions of whole milk.
