Scientists are now revealing the anti-oxidant characteristics of Selenium to protect the cell from oxidative damages.
A new article just released on May 19, 2011 with an evidence to show the potential benefit of Selenium in reducing Lipid Hydro-peroxide - a molecule in low density lipoprotein (LDL). LDL is responsible for Coronary Heart Disease.
The research has been done on 10 overweight and 10 normal-weight healthy subjects. The subjects were supplemented with 200 µg sodium selenite/day for 3 weeks with a 3-week placebo control and inversion of treatment periods. Result shows no significant effect in normal-weight and control subjects, however the lipid hydro-peroxide was significantly reduced in overweight subjects.
