Effect of SeNPs on antioxidant capacity in BRL cells.

	Control	SeNPs
		0.1 μM	0.5 μM	1 μM	12 μM	24 μM	48 μM
GSH-Px U/mL
CAT U/mL
SOD U/mL
MDA nmol/mL
T-AOC U/mg

Antioxidant capacity in BRL cells treated with different concentrations (ranging from 0.1 to 48 μM) of SeNPs for 24 h. Data are presented as the , . Control means the control treatment (the complete medium with 0 μM SeNPs). , , and indicate significant difference as compared with the control (, , and respectively). GSH-Px: glutathione peroxidase; CAT: catalase; MDA: malondialdehyde; SOD: superoxide dismutase; T-AOC: total antioxidation capability.
