The mRNA Expression Of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase In Keloid Using Tocotrienol-Rich Fraction In Primary Human Epidermal Keratinocytes And Primary Human Dermal Fibroblast Cultures

Keloid is characterized by excess collagen deposition that can damage healthy tissue. With the widespread use of Vitamin E- tocopherols based product and the discovery of tocotrienol (T3) potential to treat various skin injuries; there are possibilities of tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) to interced...
