1965 - Fellow of John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Amino acid

Al L. Tappel mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Lipid peroxidation, Vitamin E, Enzyme and Chromatography. His work on Biochemistry is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Selenium. His study in Lipid peroxidation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Microsome, Pentane, Clinical chemistry and Methionine.

He has included themes like Vitamin, Internal medicine and Endocrinology in his Vitamin E study. His research in Enzyme tackles topics such as Muscular dystrophy which are related to areas like Catabolism and Metabolism. His Chromatography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Lipase, Digestion, Kidney and Thiobarbituric acid.

His most cited work include:

  • Lipid peroxidation measured as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances in tissue slices: characterization and comparison with homogenates and microsomes. (560 citations)
  • VITAMIN E AND FREE RADICAL PEROXIDATION OF LIPIDS (421 citations)
  • Identification of the catalytic site of rat liver glutathione peroxidase as selenocysteine (398 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Lipid peroxidation, Vitamin E, Enzyme and Chromatography. His work carried out in the field of Biochemistry brings together such families of science as Internal medicine, Selenium and Endocrinology. His studies deal with areas such as Microsome, Pentane and Carbon tetrachloride as well as Lipid peroxidation.

His Vitamin E research focuses on Vitamin and how it relates to Corn oil. Al L. Tappel combines subjects such as Hydrolysis, Organic chemistry, Sephadex and Polyunsaturated fatty acid with his study of Chromatography. His Glutathione peroxidase research focuses on Peroxidase and how it connects with Inorganic chemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (72.39%)
  • Lipid peroxidation (29.85%)
  • Vitamin E (26.12%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1988-2008)?

  • Biochemistry (72.39%)
  • Lipid peroxidation (29.85%)
  • Vitamin E (26.12%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Al L. Tappel focuses on Biochemistry, Lipid peroxidation, Vitamin E, TBARS and Internal medicine. Antioxidant, Hemeprotein, Oxidative phosphorylation, Enzyme and Oxidative stress are among the areas of Biochemistry where Al L. Tappel concentrates his study. His Lipid peroxidation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Hexanal, Chromatography, Microsome and Polyunsaturated fatty acid.

His research in Microsome intersects with topics in Glutathione peroxidase and Selenoprotein. His work deals with themes such as Carotene, Vitamin and Selenium, which intersect with Vitamin E. Many of his studies on Internal medicine apply to Endocrinology as well.

Between 1988 and 2008, his most popular works were:

  • Effect of dietary lipids and vitamin E on in vitro lipid peroxidation in rat liver and kidney homogenates. (167 citations)
  • Dietary Supplements of Vitamin E, β-Carotene, Coenzyme Q10 and Selenium Protect Tissues Against Lipid Peroxidation in Rat Tissue Slices (122 citations)
  • Heme of consumed red meat can act as a catalyst of oxidative damage and could initiate colon, breast and prostate cancers, heart disease and other diseases. (118 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Amino acid

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, Vitamin E, Lipid peroxidation, Endocrinology and Internal medicine. His study in Oxidative phosphorylation, Hemeprotein, Ligand, Selenoprotein P and Cell membrane falls within the category of Biochemistry. His Vitamin E research incorporates elements of Vitamin and Selenium.

The Vitamin study which covers Dietary lipid that intersects with Lipidology, Corn oil, Unsaturated fatty acid and Kidney metabolism. His Lipid peroxidation research incorporates themes from Lipid metabolism and Hydrogen peroxide. His work focuses on many connections between Coenzyme Q10 and other disciplines, such as beta-Carotene, that overlap with his field of interest in Glutathione peroxidase and Alanine transaminase.
