γ-Toc γ-Tocotrienol
Description: <b>γ‐Tocotrienol</b> is one of the tocotrienol isomers in the vitamin E family.<br>
γ‐Tocotrienol is naturally found in certain plant oils.<br>
<br>
– Notable sources include palm oil, rice bran oil, barley, and annatto.<br>
– Among these, annatto oil is often highlighted as a particularly rich source of tocotrienols (with γ‐tocotrienol being one of the major components).<br>
<br>
• Relationship within the Vitamin E Family<br>
– Tocotrienols, including the γ isomer, are one of the two classes of vitamin E compounds (the other being tocopherols).<br>
<br>
Pathways:<br>
-Inhibition of NF‑κB Signaling<br>
-downregulate the PI3K/Akt signaling cascade<br>
-inhibit STAT3 activation<br>
-Cell Cycle Arrest<br>
-Antioxidant and Anti‑Inflammatory Effects(reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels)<br>
-may reduce angiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)<br>
