Prevention of Atherosclerosis by α-Tocopherol in Smooth Muscle Cells by a Mechanism Involving Signal Transduction Modulation

Clinical Evaluation of the Neuroprotective Effect of α-Tocopherol against Glaucomatous Damage

“…antioxidant function (2). Indeed, specific effects including protein kinase C (PKC) inhibition of α-tocopherol have been shown in many in vivo and in vitro studies which were not mimicked by antioxidants like Probucol and closed isomers like β-tocopherol (3). As supplementation of vitamin E has been shown to be beneficial and protective for almost all of the eye tissues, now its antiproliferative effects (such as inhibition of Tenon capsule fibroblast proliferation, which is important for success in filtrating surgery) are in focus (4).…”
