Vitamin E Analogs as Radiation Response Modifiers
The potentially life-threatening effects of total body ionizing radiation exposure have been known for more than a century. Despite considerable advances in our understanding of the effects of radiation over the past six decades, efforts to identify effective radiation countermeasures for use in case of a radiological/nuclear emergency have been largely unsuccessful. Vitamin E is known to have ...

متن کاملVitamin E: tocopherols and tocotrienols as potential radiation countermeasures
Despite the potential devastating health consequences of intense total-body irradiation, and the decades of research, there still remains a dearth of safe and effective radiation countermeasures for emergency, radiological/nuclear contingencies that have been fully approved and sanctioned for use by the US FDA. Vitamin E is a well-known antioxidant, effective in scavenging free radicals generat...
متن کاملVitamin E and cancer: An insight into the anticancer activities of vitamin E isomers and analogs.
Current observations in the literature suggest that vitamin E may be a suitable candidate for the adjuvant treatment of cancer. Even though historically most research focused on alpha-tocopherol, more recent evidence suggests that the other isomers of vitamin E (beta-, gamma- and delta-tocopherols and alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-tocotrienols) differ in their proapoptotic potencies. The main...
متن کاملVitamin E, Pentoxifylline, and Radiation FibrosisGRACE :: Radiation Oncology
Radiation therapy is often a component of care for patients with cancer. While radiation has great capability to kill cancer, side effects are possible. Fortunately, dramatic strides have been made in improving radiation treatment over the last few decades – modern computing and technology allow focused delivery of high radiation doses to tumors with four dimensional image guidance, dramaticall...
