Tocotrienols: Vitamin E Beyond Tocopherols

Recognized as potent antioxidants, tocotrienols are associated with cholesterol reduction, tumor suppression, and protecting the heart against oxidative stress. Compiling contributions from leading researchers, this book builds upon a recent symposium sponsored by the American Oil Chemists Society. It examines sources, discusses isolation, and delves into the biochemistry and chemistry of tocotrienols. The book then takes a comprehensive look at their role in health and disease, with a special focus on heart disease.
