Effect on apoptosis in plasma of total mRNAs obtained from δ-tocotrienol treatment of hepatitis C patients. Apoptosis modulated by δ-tocotrienol treatment of hepatitis C patients. Apoptosis is a coordinated energy-dependent process that involves the activation of a group of cysteine proteases called caspases and a cascade of events that link the initiating stimuli to programmed cell death. There are two main pathways of apoptosis, the intrinsic and extrinsic as shown here
