The role of selenium supplementation in cardiovascular disease prevention: an in vitro study to identify the molecular mechanism(s). (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
LEIGHTON, D., GOUA, M., DOLAN, E., BURGESS, K. and BERMANO, G. 2015. The role of selenium supplementation in cardiovascular disease prevention: an in vitro study to identify the molecular mechanism(s). Presented at the 2015 Nutrition Society Scottish section meeting: diet, gene regulation and metabolic disease, 25-26 March 2015, Aberdeen, UK.

Obesity is a worldwide epidemic, with two thirds of the UK population either overweight or obese (body mass index (BMI) 25–29·9 and >30 kg/m2 respectively). Obesity is characterised by systemic oxidative stress (OS), which itself results from chronic...

A comparison of the acute oxidative stress response of three different modified high intensity interval training (m-HIIT) protocols on sedentary overweight/obese young males. Poster presented at the 2015 Scottish cardiovascular forum (SCF 2015), 07 February 2015, Edinburgh, UK.

Two thirds of the UK population are overweight/obese (OW/OB) and typically characterised by systemic oxidative stress (OS); resulting from chronically high reactive oxidative species (ROS) formation and a reduced antioxidant status. Oxidative stress,...
