Tocopherol supplementation reduces NO production and pulmonary inflammatory response to bleomycin.

Highlights: [•] Dietary supplementation with tocopherol increases the concentration in the lung. [•] Tocopherol blocks the bleomycin-dependent increase of NO metabolites. [•] Tocopherol reduces bleomycin-stimulated inflammation. [•] Bleomycin-dependent loss of lung mechanical function due is reduced by tocopherol. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
