beta-Tocotrienol

The four tocopherols (alpha, beta, delta, and gamma) and four tocotrienols (alpha, beta, delta, and gamma) are forms of vitamin E, which is known for its antioxidant activity. Tocotrienols are found in high concentrations in palm oil and wheat germ. beta-Tocotrienol is a less potent antioxidant than alpha-tocotrienol (Cay-10008377). A high cholesterol diet supplemented with a mixture of alpha- and beta-tocopherols and tocotrienols has been shown to lower hepatic cholesterol and cholesterol ester concentration and to reduce atherosclerotic lesions in ApoE+/- mice.
