The cellular studies using CHO cells indicated that the pre-treatment of DSePA significantly upregulated the mRNA expressions of seleno-GPxs ( GPx1 , GPx2 , GPx3 , and GPx4 ), increased total GPx activity, and concurrently improved the viability of irradiated cells with a dose modification factor of 1.53 [85]
Though the glutathione was rapidly converted to the oxidized form upon absorption, "significantly elevated" levels of the reduced form were detected in subjects' livers 60 minutes after ingestion.20 The company that makes Opitac provided partial funding for the study, but again, the methods appear valid
