Tocotrienol ameliorates biomarkers of fatty liver disease in animal models

Tocotrienol exerts a synergistic effect with alpha-tocopherol on rat liver2models of steatohepatitis (fatty liver).  Results have shown that lipid peroxide levels in the liver are lower and signs of increased liver damage are controlled after combined intake of tocotrienol and alpha-tocopherol.
