Diphenyl diselenide, a simple glutathione peroxidase mimetic, inhibits human LDL oxidation in vitro

Oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) represents an important factor in atherogenesis. In the present study, we have investigated the antioxidant capability of diphenyl diselenide (PhSe)2, a simple organoseleno compound, against copper (Cu2+) and peroxyl radical-induced human LDL o...
