Abstract excerpt
Vitamin E in foodstuffs is a mixture of tocopherols. In mouse Mutatect tumors, a model designed to detect DNA mutations, the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (Hprt) gene mutation frequency is associated with the number of tumor-infiltrating neutrophils and both are markedly decreased in mice fed high levels of alpha-tocopherol. Dietary alpha-tocopherol is also associated with a decrease in...
