The effect of an intravenous injection of vitamin A alcohol and subcutaneous injections of linoleic acid on the mammary transfer of an intravenous injection of vitamin E acetate was studied with 15 Holstein cows. The cows received either an intravenous injection of 3 g vitamin E acetate (controls), intravenous injections of 3 g vitamin E acetate and 1 million IU vitamin A alcohol, or an intravenous injection of 3 g vitamin E acetate and subcutaneous injections totaling 40 g of linoleic acid. Milk samples were at 12-h intervals, two prior to and six following treatment. The main influence of vitamin A alcohol and linoleic acid on mammary transfer of vitamin E was to delay secretion of vitamin E in milk. However, total secretion of vitamin E was not reduced by injection of either vitamin A alcohol or linoleic acid. Vitamin E injection produced substantial increases in vitamin E in milk, but less than 1% of the dose could be accounted for in the milk.

D014801 Vitamin A Retinol and derivatives of retinol that play an essential role in metabolic functioning of the retina, the growth of and differentiation of epithelial tissue, the growth of bone, reproduction, and the immune response. Dietary vitamin A is derived from a variety of CAROTENOIDS found in plants. It is enriched in the liver, egg yolks, and the fat component of dairy products.

D014810 Vitamin E A generic descriptor for all TOCOPHEROLS and TOCOTRIENOLS that exhibit ALPHA-TOCOPHEROL activity. By virtue of the phenolic hydrogen on the 2H-1-benzopyran-6-ol nucleus, these compounds exhibit varying degree of antioxidant activity, depending on the site and number of methyl groups and the type of ISOPRENOIDS.
