preventing angiogenesis

[Guest guest]

Tocotrienol, the less well known form of vitamin E, could prevent the

formation of new blood vessels, and therefore hold promise against a

range of diseases, suggests new animal study.

 

Japanese researchers, led by Kiyotaka Nakagawa from Tohoku

Univ., report on the ability of tocotrienol to prevent angiogenesis,

associated with tumour growth, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetic

retinopathy.
