Incidence of and risk factors for cognitive impairment in an early Parkinson disease clinical trial cohort.

Nov 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the incidence of and risk factors for cognitive impairment in a large, well-defined clinical trial cohort of patients with early Parkinson disease (PD). METHODS: The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was administered ... Read more...

Modification of mortality and tumorigenesis by tocopherol-mono-glucoside (TMG) administered after X irradiation in mice and rats.

29 Sep 2009 The effects of TMG [2-(alpha-d-glucopyranosyl) methyl-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-6-ol], a water-soluble vitamin E derivative, administered after irradiation on the mortality of X-irradiated mice and on the development of tumors in the mammary and ... Read more...

Tumor markers and rectal cancer: support for an inflammation-related pathway.

29 Sep 2009 Inflammation may be a key element in the etiology of colorectal cancer. In our study, we examine associations between factors related to inflammation and specific rectal cancer mutations. A population-based study of 750 rectal cancer cases with ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Tocopherols'

Definition: A collective name for a group of closely related lipids that contain substitutions on the 2H-1-benzopyran-6-ol nucleus and a long hydrocarbon chain of isoprenoid units. They are antioxidants by virtue of the phenolic hydrogen. Tocopherols react with the most reactive form of oxygen and protect unsaturated fatty acids from oxidation.
