Resumen
Descripción
While alpha-tocopherol has been the most widely studied and used form of vitamin E, scientists have now discovered that members of the vitamin E family possess unique biological functions that are not redundant to each other. Tocotrienols, which have been neglected for decades, are now gaining increasing attention as they have been shown to be potentially neuroprotective in animal models. The emerging evidence may help uncover novel mechanisms of stroke-related neurodegeneration and encourage researchers to explore the role of tocotrienols in a wide variety of neurodegenerative disorders. Professor Chandan K. Sen, an internationally renowned scientist specializing in tissue injury, repair and regeneration, recently presented a lecture on tocotrienols, particularly highlighting the mechanisms underlying the neuroprotective effect of alpha-tocotrienol.
