- tth3uoku 8y agoMost research has focused on α-tocopherol, which is thought to displace γ-Tocopherol. In a 2000 study of the relationship between α-tocopherol, γ-tocopherol, selenium, and prostate cancer, men in the highest fifth of the distribution for γ-tocopherol were five time less likely to develop prostate cancer than men in the lowest fifth. [1] "Recent epidemiological and preclinical studies have indicated that γ- and δ-tocopherols may be more effective because they are more efficient traps for reactive oxygen and nitrogen species."
