We have previously demonstrated the overexpression and hormone-independent activation of the IGF-IR in primary breast cancers [ 42 ] . Similar overexpression of the IGF-IR and the ligands IGF-I and IGF-II have been seen in human gliomas and astrocytomas [ 43 44 45 46 ] .

It is interesting, however, that in an animal model, graded levels of dietary gamma-tocopherol in a diet containing a constant level of alpha-tocopherol were found to increase the levels of alpha-tocopherol in serum and most tissues [ 16 ] . This remarkable result has yet to be reproduced in humans but certainly suggests an interaction between dietary gamma-tocopherol and alpha-tocopherol similar to that reported here on the cellular level.
