The <em>In Vitro</em> Cellular Uptake and Physiochemical Properties of Tocotrienols.
<p>This research, focusing mainly on tocotrienols, includes two parts. The first part concerns the uptake and growth inhibition of tocotrienols in PC-3 cells. The second part is a study of the physiochemical properties of Vitamin E.</p><p>In the cellular study our results suggested that position 5 …

Studies on cholesterol metabolism in prostate cancer cells
… homeostasis should be targeted in PCa, we used tocotrienols, a form of vitamin E previously found to selectively target PCa cells in vitro. We found that tocotrienols degrade SREBP-2 by a novel mechanism. In turn, we found that SREBP-2 activity determined resistance to tocotrienols in cell …

Multifaceted Nutritional Intervention In Hemodialysis Patients
… several nutrients namely omega-3 and vitamin E tocotrienols on nutritional and oxidative indicators, inflammatory markers and lipid profiles in a cohort of chronic HD patients.</p> <p> The objective of the first study was to evaluate the impact of omega-3 plus liquid protein supplement on serum …

Supercritical fluid extraction of rice bran with adsorption on rice hull ash
… antioxidant compounds of oryzanol, tocopherols, tocotrienols. Silica rich rice hull ash adsorbent was also incorporated in combined extraction-adsorption experiments under similar supercritical fluid conditions. Supercritical extraction yields of rice bran oil and antioxidants were compared with …

Extraction and Purification of Gamma-Tocotrienol from Rice Bran Oil Deodorizer Distillate
… tocopherols (T); alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-tocotrienols (T3)) make up the vitamin E family of antioxidants. Tocols have many health benefits. Gamma-T3 has been shown to protect against harmful radiation effects in mice. During rice bran oil refining up to 90% of tocols in rice bran are lost …

Optimisation of the anti-cancer efficacy of various tocotrienol isomers by entrapment in tumour-targeted vesicles
… demonstrated that the anti-cancer efficacy of tocotrienols can be improved by entrapping α-tocotrienol instead of tocotrienol-rich-fraction inside optimised transferrin-bearing vesicles.

Vitamin E : elucidation of the mechanism of side chain degradation and gene regulatory functions
… pathway is identical for all tocopherols and tocotrienols, there is a marked difference in the amount of the release of metabolites from the individual vitamin E forms in cell culture as well as in experimental animals and in humans. Recent findings not only proposed an CYP3A4-mediated …

The Synthesis and Reactivity of Vitamin E Quinones
… differences between the tocopherols and tocotrienols were established. The CV of all tocols showed two quasi-reversible one-electron oxidation processes; the first oxidation produced a radical cation, which quickly deprotonated to form a tocopheryl radical, which then undergoes a second …
