Beta-Tocopherol	NCIT_C68315
Delta-tocopherol	NCIT_C68316
Gamma-Tocopherol	NCIT_C68317	[The orally bioavailable gamma form of the naturally-occurring fat-soluble vitamin E, found in certain nuts and seeds, with potential antioxidant activity. Although the exact mechanism of action of this tocopherol has yet to be fully identified, gamma-tocopherol appears to have the ability to scavenge free radicals, thereby protecting against oxidative damage.]
Tocotrienol	NCIT_C68318	[Any of the four forms, alpha, beta, gamma and delta, of a member of the vitamin E family, with potential hypocholesterolemic, antithrombotic, antioxidant, immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Tocotrienol inhibits the activity of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, thereby lowering cholesterol levels. In addition, tocotrienol acts through multiple signal transduction pathways to induce cell cycle arrest and caspase-mediated apoptosis, and to decrease tumor cell proliferation. In addition, this agent may inhibit angiogenesis through the blockage of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and the subsequent inhibition of tumor cell-induced vessel formation. Also, this agent prevents free radical formation and inhibits lipid peroxidation, thereby preventing DNA cell damage. Tocotrienol farnesyl isoprenoid side chains contain 3 double bonds, which are absent in tocopherols, likely contribute to its anti-cancer activities.]
Menaquinone	NCIT_C68319
Phylloquinone	NCIT_C68320
Arachidic Acid	NCIT_C68321	[A saturated long-chain fatty acid with a 20-carbon backbone. Arachidic acid is found naturally as a minor component of peanut oil.]
Behenic Acid	NCIT_C68322	[A saturated very long-chain fatty acid with a 22-carbon backbone. Behenic acid is a major component of ben oil, extracted from the seeds of the moringa tree.]
Stigmastanol	NCIT_C68323	[A steroid derivative characterized by the hydroxyl group in position C-3 of the steroid skeleton, and a saturated bond in position 5-6 of the B ring.]
Saturated Phytosterol	NCIT_C68422	[Any fully saturated phytosterol, indicating that the 5-6 bond of the sterol B ring has been oxidized. Saturated Phytosterols are in general produced by enzymatic hydrogenation of phytosterols. They are found in trace amounts in nuts, seed and legumes. Saturated phytosterols are not produced in the animal kingdom.]
Beta-sitosterol	NCIT_C68324
