Antihyperlipidemic and hepatoprotective properties of selenium modified polysaccharide from Lachnum sp.

Hyperlipidemia is one of the major health problem people suffering throughout the world, which is also a major risk factor for chronic heart disease that can lead to death. The current study was designed to investigate antihyperlipidemic and hepatoprotective effects of selenium modified exopolysaccharide of Lachnum sp. (SeLEP-1b) on high-fat induced mice model. Nitric acid-sodium selenite (HNO3–Na2SeO3) method was used to selenize pure LEP-1b....
