Does Vitamin E Tocotrienols Prevent Breast Cancer?


Since one out of every eight women is destined to develop breast cancer, a tremendous amount of research has been undertaken to discover ways of preventing this common killer. One compound that has been extensively studied for its role in preventing breast cancer is tocotrieonls in vitamin E.
When reviewing all the published evidence, it does not appear that alpha-tocopherol vitamin E confers a protective effect against breast cancer. Yet studies show that women who consume foods high in other forms of vitamin E (tocotrienols) substantially reduce their risk of contracting breast cancer (by as much as 90%).
A cardinal feature of breast tumors are rapidly proliferating cells. Estrogen drugs promote hyper-proliferation and this is one reason why these drugs may quadruple the incidence of breast cancer.
Studies of breast cancer cells in culture indicate that tocotrienols have potent effects in inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis (cancer cell death). These studies show that alpha-tocopherol does not have this same benefit.
Alpha tocopherol acetate is the most widespread supplement form of vitamin E, yet the evidence points to other forms of vitamin E as being responsible for the dramatic reduction in breast cancer incidence observed in great human studies.
The individual tocopherols and tocotrienols have different biological activities as they relate to their effects on cellular function. Gamma tocopherol, for instance, has demonstrated significant cancer prevention effects compared to alpha-tocopherol.
The potential anti-cancer effects of gamma tocopherol and the tocotrienols merits aggressive human clinical research to determine if women who supplement with these unique forms of vitamin E can reduce their risk of contracting breast cancer. Further research will be conducted on breast cancer patients to see if the addition of tocotrienols to tamoxifen improves long-term survival rates.
There is no compelling evidence that standard (alpha-tocopherol) vitamin E supplements reduce breast cancer incidence. While alpha-tocopherol has been shown to protect against a wide range of other diseases, it would appear that the tocotrienols are the ideal form of vitamin E to specifically reduce breast cancer risk

Palm oil the new cure

Ageless™ Bio-Optima ‎"We hope Tocotrienol, when used widely in the field of medicine, will have a positive impact in neuro treatment & prevention of cardiovascular diseases," said Ibrahim, who is from USM's School of Advanced Medical and Dental Institute.

GEORGE TOWN: Palm oil is set to shed its negative image as more scientific researches on the commodity revealed its potential as a cure for many illnesses.
Plantation, Industries and Commodities Minister Tan Sri Bernard Dompok said research had revealed that the commodity provided a natural remedy to many ailments including fatty liver and stroke.

He said such positive developments could offset misconceptions about palm oil.

"While the government continues to work on how the industry can increase its productivity in a more sustainable manner without using more land, such new researches will open doors to new possibilities and markets.
"Although the industry has been accused of being environmentally unfriendly, it is also a source of renewable energy such as biogas and biomass."

He was speaking after a presentation by Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) researchers Dr Enrico Magosso and Professor Ibrahim Lutfi Shuaib on the use of palm tocotrienols (palm Vitamin E) in treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and preventing stroke.

Palm oil is to date the richest source of tocotrienol, the superior form of Vitamin E that is high in antioxidants.

Tocotrienols obtained the Self-Affirmed GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) status in September 2007 from the US Food and Drug Administration.

Apart from being used in food like margarine, salad dressing, mayonnaise and potato chips, tocotrienol has also been proven to contain anti-cancer properties as well as neuro and vascular protective properties.

Dr Magosso, an Italian researcher from USM's School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, said after a one-year clinical trial on 64 volunteers suffering from NAFLD, 20 out of 30 patients treated with tocotrienol showed improvements with 15 being cured.

He said although more studies must be conducted to convince people that tocotrienol works, the discovery had presented an answer to NAFLD, a silent disease that affects 90 per cent of diabetic and obese people of all ages and 60 per cent of Malaysians with high-cholesterol.

"This natural remedy has proven effective in treating NAFLD and has every potential to be the treatment of choice. The market opportunity of 500 million people worldwide is vast for Malaysia, which is the world's second largest palm oil producer."

Tocotrienol has also proven to work in preventing stroke, the nation's third largest cause of death after heart diseases and cancer.

Ibrahim said in a two-year study on 10 people with white matter lesion, a neuronal damage in the brain that is related to stroke, five out of seven subjects who were treated with tocotrienol showed improvements.

"Only one subject out of the remaining three, who received placebo treatments, showed improvements while the condition of the other two deteriorated.

"We hope tocotrienol, when used widely in the field of medicine, will have a positive impact in neuro treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases," said Ibrahim, who is from USM's School of Advanced Medical and Dental Institute.




PENEMUAN USM: EKSTRAK KELAPA SAWIT BANTU CEGAH PENYAKIT HATI DAN OTAK


PULAU PINANG, 10 Ogos: Pokok kelapa sawit bukan sahaja menghasilkan minyak yang berkualiti.

Malah kini, satu jenis vitamin E, yang juga dikenali sebagai ‘tocotrienol’, dikenalpasti berupaya membantu dalam pencegahan kerosakan otak akibat kecederaan zon putih otak (White Matter Lesion).

Menerusi kajian yang dijalankan oleh sekumpulan penyelidik Pusat Pengajian Sains Farmasi dan Institut Perubatan dan Pergigian Termaju (IPPT) Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), vitamin E kelapa sawit ini juga mampu menghalang kerosakan hati akibat pengumpulan lemak yang boleh kemudiannya membawa kepada kegagalan hati.

Penyelidikan yang diterajui oleh Prof. Yuen Kah Hay dan Prof. Ibrahim Lutfi Shuaib bermula sejak tahun 2007 dan dibiayai menerusi geran penyelidikan Lembaga Minyak Sawit Malaysia bernilai lebih RM4 juta.

Menurut Prof. Ibrahim Lutfi Shuaib, ‘White Matter Lesion’ ini memberikan gambaran pengurangan aliran darah ke bahagian otak seseorang dan kerap memperlihatkan potensi risiko bagi seseorang itu berhadapan dengan penyakit angin akhmar.

“Kita pada awalnya mengambil sejumlah 400 sukarelawan yang kemudiannya diklasifikasikan kepada dua kumpulan iaitu kumpulan MRI dan bukan MRI.

“Kumpulan MRI terlibat di dalam kajian bagi tempoh dua tahun sementara kumpulan bukan MRI hanya bagi tempoh 1 tahun. Sub-kumpulan dalam kedua-dua kumpulan ini seterusnya diberikan kapsul tocotrienol 400mg setiap hari. Berdasarkan kajian ini, kita mendapati tocotrienol memberikan kesan positif kepada sukarelawan yang terlibat ini,” kata beliau ketika membentangkan hasil kajian kepada Menteri Perusahaan Perladangan dan Komoditi Malaysia, Tan Sri Bernard Giluk Dompok di Bilik Persidangan Canselori.

Turut hadir di dalam pembentangan yang sama ialah Datuk Dr. Mohd Basri Wahid, Ketua Pengarah, Lembaga Minyak Sawit Malaysia, Prof. Asma Ismail, Timbalan Naib Canselor (Penyelidikan dan Inovasi) USM, Prof. Madya Syed Azhar Syed Sulaiman, Dekan Pusat Pengajian Sains Farmasi USM, Dr. Hj. Ramli Saad, Pengarah IPPT USM, David Ho, Pengarah Urusan, Hovid Berhad dan M. Nagarajan, Setiausaha Bahagian (Minyak Sayuran, Lelemak dan Sago), Kementerian Perusahaan Perladangan dan Komoditi Malaysia.

Dalam pembentangan yang sama, Enrico Magosso daripada Pusat Pengajian Sains Farmasi pula berkata pihaknya telah menjalankan kajian kepada 60 sukarelawan dewasa yang menerima 400mg tocotrienol dan kajian tersebut menunjukkan perubahan positif kepada 50% sukarelawan yang mengambil bahagian.

“Hasil kajian ini akan dibentangkan kepada 'Liver Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases' di Boston, Amerika Syarikat,” kata beliau.

Tambah beliau lagi, Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease' (NAFLD) tidak mempunyai terapi ubat dan kajian yang dijalankan oleh mereka adalah yang pertama untuk menunjukkan bahawa tocotrienol yang dijual sebagai makanan tambahan boleh merawat penyakit itu.
