γ-Tocotrienol induces paraptosis-like cell death in human colon carcinoma SW620 cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Colorectal cancer is one of the most serious illnesses among diagnosed cancer. As a new type of anti-cancer composition from tocotrienol-rich fraction of palm oil, γ-tocotrienol is widely used in anti-cancer research. The objectives of this study were to

Gamma-Tocotrienol Stimulates the Proliferation, Differentiation, and Mineralization in Osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 Cells [PDF]
Journal of Chemistry, 2018 Gamma-tocotrienol, a major component of tocotrienol-rich fraction of palm oil, has been suggested to exhibit bone protective effects in vivo. However, the effects of γ-tocotrienol on osteoblast cells are still unclear.

Taxonomy—Dependent Seed Tocochromanol Composition in the Rutaceae Family: Application of Sustainable Approach for Their Extraction [PDF]
PlantsSeveral members of the Rutaceae (citrus) family are widely cultivated and processed. Tocopherol (T) synthesis and composition are well-documented, while tocotrienols (T3) in most plant families remain underreported.

γ-Tocotrienol, a vitamin E homolog, is a natriuretic hormone precursor
Journal of Lipid Research, 2003 2,7,8-Trimethyl-2-(β-carboxyethyl)-6-hydroxychroman (γ-CEHC), a metabolite of γ-tocopherol and γ-tocotrienol, was identified as a new endogenous natriuretic factor.

INDUCED PRODUCTION OF α-TOCOTRIENOL BY CO-SUPPRESSION OF TOCOPHEROL CYCLASE GENE IN VEGETABLE CROPS [PDF]
American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2013 This study involves the induced production of α-tocotrienol by the co-suppression of tocopherol cyclase gene. The Tocopherol/tocotrienol Cyclase (TC) is a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of α-tocotrienol. The partial conserved cDNA of TC gene isolated from the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) that shared greater than 75% sequence identity with TC ...

Bioscience Journal, 2018 Tocotrienols are members of the natural vitamin E family which is considered one of important fat soluble vitamins. The tocotrienols react with free radicals, which are the main cause of oxidation damage to cell membranes, without formation of other free radicals in the process.

Genome-wide association study of vitamin E in sweet corn kernels
Crop Journal, 2020 Vitamin E, consisting of tocopherols and tocotrienols, serves as a lipid-soluble antioxidant in sweet corn kernels, providing nutrients to both plants and humans. Though the key genes involved in the vitamin E biosynthesis pathway have been identified in
