Alpha-tocopherol level was measured spectrofluorometrically in 279 healthy volunteers to establish reliable reference values and to compare possible sex and age-related differences. In the present study, men had higher tocopherol levels than women (p<0.05) and older subjects had lower values. This study provides reference values for alpha-tocopherol that may assist it evaluating the anti-oxidant defense.
