Gene context of alpha-Tocopherol

  • These findings suggested that D-alpha-tocopherol can prevent the activation of PKC in the vascular cells and aorta induced by hyperglycemia by normalizing the elevated levels of DAG [3].
  • By immunoblotting studies, D-alpha-tocopherol treatment was able to reduce the enhancement of PKC beta II isoform in the membraneous fraction isolated from ASMCs [21].
  • Both probucol and D-alpha-tocopherol inhibit the phorbol ester-induced release of IL-1 beta without altering differentiation [22].
  • Molecular dissection of the pathway in plants is now complete with the cloning and characterization of the gene for Arabidopsis MPBQ/MSBQ methyltransferase (VITAMIN E 3; VTE3) [23].
  • Various treatments including i.p. injections of 40 micrograms of Na2SeO3 and 100 mumol of GSH and/or topical applications of 40 mumol of D-alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) 20 or 15 min, respectively, before tumor promoter treatment inhibited in an additive manner the effects of either TPA or mezerein on both GSH peroxidase activity and ODC induction [24].
