Readers are encouraged to read these articles for further background on how ROS are generated during respiration and what defences our body has against them.) More specifically, GPx1 neutralises and protects against damage from one ROS in particular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)

The inhibition mechanism can relate to the interaction of ALA with sulfhydryl groups due to its dithiolane structure [126]
