Study: Vitamin E type helps prevent prostate cancer
COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 2 () -- U.S. researchers showed in prostate cancer cells one form of vitamin E inhibits the activation of an enzyme essential for cancer cell survival. Lead author Ching-Shih Chen, a professor at The Ohio State University and an investigator in Ohio State's Comprehensive Cancer Center, cautioned taking a typical vitamin E supplement wouldn't offer this same benefit for at least two reasons: The most affordable supplements are synthetic and based predominantly on a form of the vitamin that did not fight cancer as effectively in this study,[url=http://www.dtvtk3.com/]jimmy choo shoes sale[/url], and the human body can't absorb the high doses that appear to be required to achieve the anti-cancer effect."Our goal is to develop a safe pill at the right dose that people could take every day for cancer prevention," It takes time to optimize the formulation and the dose," Chen said in a statement. Chen has filed an invention disclosure with the university,[url=http://www.yubikeys.net/]true religion jeans outlet[/url], and Ohio State has filed a patent application for the agent.The study, published in the journal Science Signaling, found vitamin E occurred in numerous forms based on their chemical structure, and the most commonly known form belongs to a variety calledtocopherols. In this study, researchers showed that, of the tocopherols tested, the gamma form of tocopherol was the most potent anti-cancer form of the vitamin.The scientists manipulated the structure of that vitamin E molecule and found the effectiveness of this new agent they created was 20-fold higher than the vitamin itself in cells, Chen said.
