Abstract

We have recently reported that gamma-tocopherol (gammaT) reduces allergen- and zymosan-induced inflammation using rodent models. As an initial step in extending these observations to humans, we conducted an open-label, Phase I dosing study of two doses (one or two capsules daily for 1 week) of a gamma-tocopherol-rich preparation containing 623 mg of gamma-tocopherol, 61.1 mg of d-alpha-tocopherol, 11.1 mg of d-beta-tocopherol (11.1 mg), and 231 mg of d-sigma-tocopherol per capsule. Endpoints for this study include serum levels of 5-nitro-gamma-tocopherol, as a marker of oxidative stress, and changes in serum gamma-, alpha-, and delta-tocopherol and gamma-2'-carboxyethyl-6-hydroxychroman (CEHC) 6 and 24 h after the first dose and after 1 week of treatment. To assess the biological activity of this treatment, we obtained peripheral blood mononuclear cells at baseline and after 1 week of treatment with two capsules of a gamma-tocopherol-rich preparation/day and examined the inflammatory cytokine response of these cells in culture to ex vivo endotoxin/LPS (0.01 ng/ml) challenge. We also monitored a number of safety endpoints to examine how well this preparation is tolerated in eight normal volunteers (four allergic and four nonalle...Continue Reading

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Allergies & Environmental Factors

Environmental factors are strongly associated with the prevalence of allergies and are an increasing health concern worldwide. Discover the latest research on Allergies and Environmental Factors here.
