Eased serum lipid levels, actions partially attenuated in the presence of -tocotrienol. These bmjopen-2016-011824 novel findings demonstrate the potential value to be gained through investigations of the impact of various nutritional supplements, specifically the PubMed ID:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14960617 flavonoids, alone and in combination with -tocotrienol on predictors of age-associated diseases.Abbreviations AP-1: activator protein-1; COX-2: cyclooxygenase-2; HMG-CoA: -hydroxy-methylglutaryl coenzyme A; ICAM: intracellular adhesion molecule-1; IB: inhibitory kappaB; IL-1: interleukin-1; IL-6: interleukin-6; IL-8: interleukin-8; iNOS: inducible nitric oxide synthase; LPS: lipopolysaccharide; MCP-1: macrophage chemoattractant protein-1; MIP-1: macrophage inflammatory protein-1; NF-B: nuclear factor-kappaB; NO: nitric oxide; TNF-: tumor necrosis factor-; ROS: reactive oxygen species; VCAM: vascular cell adhesion molecule-1.
