Tocotrienol-induced cytotoxicity unrelated to mitochondrial stress apoptosis
May 26th, 2005
Tocotrienol-induced cytotoxicity might not be related to mitochondrial stress apoptotic signaling in neoplastic mammary epithelial cells. According to recent research published in the journal Biochemistry and Cell Biology-Biochimie Et Biologie Cellulaire, "Tocotrienols and tocopherols represent the 2 subgroups within the vitamin E family of compounds, but tocotrienols display significantly greater apoptotic activity against a variety of cancer cell types. However, the exact mechanism mediating tocotrienol-induced apoptosis is not understood. Studies were conducted to determine the effects of tocotrienols on mitochondrial-stress-mediated apoptotic signaling in...
