The amount of α‐tocopherolquinone in rat liver has been reinvestigated comparing (a) a conventional procedure including saponification and thin layer chromatography followed by high peformance liquid chromatography (HPLC), with (b) the direct HPLC analysis of a total lipid extract. Recovery of added α‐tocopherolquinone was quantitative with both procedures. In contrast to a recent report of 124 nmol/g in rat liver, we found no more than 1–4 nmol/g by procedure a and less than 1 nmol/g by procedure b.
