Tocotrienol-Rich Fraction Prevents Cell Cycle Arrest and Elongates Telomere Length in Senescent Human Diploid Fibroblasts

Morphological changes of HDFs in culture. Young (a), presenescent (b), and senescent (c) HDFs compared to TRF-treated HDFs (d)–(f). Senescent HDFs lost their original fibroblastic shape by acquiring a flattened morphology (indicated by arrow) with increased in size of nucleus and cells. The morphology of TRF-treated HDFs resembled that of young cells with more spindle-shaped cells present. Micrographs are shown at 200x magnification.
