Abstract
ELATTAR and VIRJI, Hormone Research Laboratory, University of Missouri-Kansas City, School of Dentistry 64108 USA researched the effect of treating human tongue cancer cells with vitamin E .
Background
Methodology
The authors treated human tongue squamous carcinoma cell SCC-25 with physiological concentrations of vitamin E succinate (VES), varying from 0.001 to 50 micromoles/L.
Results
Treatment with vitamin E in concentrations of 0.001 to 50 micromoles/L resulted in significant dose-dependent stimulation of cell growth, whereas pharmacological doses of vitamin E (100-154 micromoles/L) induced significant inhibition of cell growth.
Conclusion
