Melanogenesis inhibition by palm tocotrienol rich fraction in cellular ageing

Melanin is the pigment that determines skin color. Melanin synthesis is catalysed by the enzyme tyrosinase and is controlled by TYR, TYRP1 and TYRP2 genes. In this study, tocotrienol rich fraction (TRF) was used to inhibit melanin synthesis. TRF contains 75% α-tocotrienol and 25% tocopherol. The obj...
