PROTEIN DISCOVERY COULD BE CLUE TO VITAMIN E
US researchers have identified a protein that affects vitamin E?s retention in prostate cells and helps the vitamin slow cancer growth. Called alpha tocopherol associated protein, or TAP, the binding protein is known to perform important cellular functions, such as regulating the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver. But for the first time, a team […]
HIGH DOSES OF VITAMIN E BOOST LIFESPAN
A team of researchers from the University of Cadiz in Spain and the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina found that vitamin E supplements appeared to improve the ability of mice to perform in neuromuscular tests, suggesting that the vitamin also improved quality of life as well as longevity. This research has been two years […]
