Vedclass · Answer

(C) Vitamin-$E$,also known as tocopherol,is obtained from sources such as green leafy vegetables,seed oils,milk,cheese,butter,and eggs.It acts as an antisterility factor and functions as an antioxidant for membrane lipids,skin (reducing keratinization),and hair.It also helps in reducing atherosclerosis and inhibits the oxidation of vitamin-$A$ and unsaturated fatty acids.The deficiency of vitamin-$E$ leads to the breakdown of erythrocytes (leading to anaemia),muscular dystrophy (cramps),miscarriage,and reduced fertility.
