Modulation of collagen synthesis and its gene expression in human skin fibroblasts by tocotrienol-rich fraction
1 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Skin aging may occur as a result of increased free radicals in the body. Vitamin E, the major chain-breaking antioxidant, prevents propagation of oxidative stress, especially in biological membranes. In this study, the molecular mechanism of tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) in preventing oxidative stress-induced skin aging was evaluated by determining the rate of total collagen synthesis and its gene...
