Description

Gamma-tocopherol is a type of tocopherol that is found in the human body. It is a fat-soluble vitamin that has been shown to have a variety of biological properties. Gamma-tocopherol has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Gamma-tocopherol also inhibits influenza virus replication by reducing viral RNA polymerase activity and interfering with mitochondrial function. In addition, gamma-tocopherol can bind to fatty acids and methyl groups, which makes it an important part of lipid metabolism.
