[Inhibition of human gastric carcinoma cell growth by vitamin E succinate].
The effects of vitamin E succinate (VES) on the growth of human gastric carcinoma cell (SGC-7901) were examined and compared with the effects of alpha-tocopherol by MTT assay. It was found that VES(5, 10 and 20 micrograms/ml) inhibited cell growth significantly, but alpha-tocopherol did not show any inhibition effects. The results showed that the anticancer effect of VES and the anticancer mechanism of VES is different from alpha-tocopherol.
