On page 290, column 2, paragraph 3, the unit "mL" is used incorrectly in 4 instances; the correct unit is "µL." The text should have been presented as follows: Briefly, 100 µL plasma was mixed with 100 µL ethanol; after being mixed by vortex, tocopherol was extracted into 500 µL hexane containing 0.002% butylated hydroxytoluene (Sigma, St Louis). Tocol, a gift from Hoffmann-La Roche (Nutley, NJ), was added to the mixture as an internal standard. Samples were centrifuged at 180 x g for 5 min at 4 °C. The supernatant fluid was collected and dried under a stream of nitrogen gas and was reconstituted in 100 µL methanol.
