Effects of pure tocotrienols on the status of endothelial activation, inflammation, oxidative stress and plaque stability in the prevention of early and established experimental atherosclerosis / Nurmazni Zulkafli
Atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes of coronary artery disease (CAD). Studies on the cardioprotective activities of tocotrienols (T3) in the absence of alpha tocopherol (TCP) remain obscure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of pure T3 supplementation on lipid lowering, tiss...
