Description
A biologically active form of vitamin E; reduces cumene hydroperoxide-induced lipid peroxidation in hepatocytes at 20 µM but induces lipid peroxidation in hepatic microsomes at 100 µM; decreases capillary formation of HMEC-1 blood endothelial cells at 40 µM; reduces estrogen-induced increases in the expression of estrogen-responsive genes and the levels of 8-oxo-dG and nitrotyrosine in MCF-7 cells at 10 µM/L; reduces tumor growth in an estrogen-supplemented MCF-7 mouse xenograft model at 0.2% in the diet
