RADIATION PROTECTION BY GAMMA-TOCOTRIENOL

摘要

The present invention relates to methods for the prevention and treatment of a mammal from radiation-induced internal injury using gamma-tocotrienol, alpha-tocopherol succinate or gamma-tocotrienol succinate. Specifically, the present invention relates to methods for preventing and treating radiation-induced injuries in a mammal by (1) subcutaneous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, or intravascular injection of a therapeutically effective amount of gamma-tocotrienol; or (2) oral administration of a therapeutically effective amount of alpha-tocopherol succinate or gamma-tocotrienol succinate or both.
