Tocotrienols promote apoptosis in human breast cancer cells by inducing poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage and inhibiting nuclear factor kappa-B activity.

Cell Prolif. 46(2) , 203-13, (2013)

Tocotrienols and tocopherols are members of the vitamin E family, with similar structures; however, only tocotrienols have been reported to achieve potent anti-cancer effects. The study described here...

Tissue distribution of vitamin E metabolites in rats after oral administration of tocopherol or tocotrienol.

J. Nutr. Sci. Vitaminol. 57(5) , 326-32, (2011)

We previously found that 2,7,8-trimethyl-2(2'-carboxyethyl)-6-hydroxychroman (_CEHC), a metabolite of the vitamin E isoforms _-tocopherol or _-tocotrienol, accumulated in the rat small intestine. The ...

δ- and γ-tocotrienols induce classical ultrastructural apoptotic changes in human T lymphoblastic leukemic cells.

Microsc. Microanal. 18(3) , 462-9, (2012)

Tocotrienols are isomers of the vitamin E family, which have been reported to exert cytotoxic effects in various cancer cells. Although there have been some reports on the effects of tocotrienols in l...
