text: Yo, check it out, I got something to say
  'Bout alpha-tocopherol in a rap display
  Supplementing it, protectin' your heart
  Fightin' cardiovascular disease, that's the start
  
  It influences cells in atherogenesis
  Like monocytes, yo, they in the mix
  Early in atherogenesis, they connect
  Monocytes and endothelial cells intersect
  
  Adhesion happens with them integrins, you see
  Let's see how alpha-tocopherol sets 'em free
  Mac-1 expression on monocytes is the key
  When stimulated by oxidized LDL, it's plain to see
  
  Oxidized LDL, a potent chemotactic agent
  But alpha-tocopherol, it be relevant
  Whole blood incubation with oxidized LDL, it's true
  Mac-1 expression increases, that's what they do
  
  But when preincubated with alpha-tocopherol
  Reduces upregulation, that's the goal
  Concentration dependent, it's the plan
  Alpha-tocopherol takin' a stand
  
  In another experiment, healthy volunteers
  Got alpha-tocopherol for ten days, no fears
  Blood incubation with oxidized LDL again
  Mac-1 upregulation decreased, my friend
  
  Adherence of monocytes to endothelial cells
  Reduced by alpha-tocopherol, that's swell
  Anti-CD18 monoclonal antibody came through
  Also inhibited adherence, it's true
  
  Protein kinase C inhibitors in the mix
  Suggested alpha-tocopherol's got tricks
  Reducin' Mac-1 upregulation, yo, it's clear
  Decreasin' protein kinase C activity, no fear
  
  To wrap it up, alpha-tocopherol's the man
  Suppressin' Mac-1 expression, that's the plan
  Monocytes and oxidized LDL, they collide
  But alpha-tocopherol's got their back, it's on their side
