1. Keratin Sodium selenite 100–200 nm Spherical Antioxidant potential against 1% ethanol-induced oxidative damage in H9C2 cell line ROS detection measurement of conversion of DCFH-DA to fluorescent DCF using a fluorescent microscope [160]
2. Bovine serum albumin Sodium selenite 500–600 nm Spherical Antioxidant potential against 1% ethanol-induced oxidative damage in H9C2 cell line ROS detection measurement of conversion of DCFH-DA to fluorescent DCF using a fluorescent microscope [160]
3. Bovine serum albumin Sodium selenite 5–100 nm Spherical Significant antioxidant potential has been reported by cyclophosphamide-induced damage in female Swiss albino mice ROS generation was measured using DCFH-DA; level of lipid peroxides formed was measured using TBA; GSH, GSSH, GPx, SOD, and CAT levels were also measured [161]
4. Melatonin Sodium selenite - Spherical MT-Se treated BCG/LPS-induced hepatic injury mice models showed antioxidant and anti-inflammation action NO, MDA, SOD, and GPx levels were measured; TNF-α, IL-1β, and splenocyte proliferation levels were also observed [162]
