An atlas of plant selenium metabolism
Summary Selenium (Se) is not only a rare and toxic element but also an essential micronutrient for humans and animals that is often in short supply. Terrestrial plants do not require Se, but it can have growth‐promoting or negative effects, depending on the exposure level.

Bio-efficacy of hydroxy-selenomethionine as a selenium supplement in pregnant dairy heifers and on the selenium status of their calves [PDF]
This study aimed to determine the effects of supplementing pregnant heifers with the organic selenium source 2-hydroxy-4-methylselenobutanoic acid (HMSeBA) during last eight weeks of pregnancy on dam and calf Se status. A total of 42 in-calf heifers were

Schematic of the mechanism of fetuin‐b mediated high‐fat diet‐induced hepatic steatosis in Larimichthys crocea. Lipid overload triggers C/EBPα‐mediated fetuin‐b upregulation. Fetuin‐b drives hepatic lipid accumulation by reprogramming lipid metabolism and inhibiting Plin2 ubiquitination to stabilize lipid droplets, identifying it as a potential ...

Selenoprotein P gene r25191g/a polymorphism and quantification of selenoprotein P mRNA level in patients with Kashin-Beck disease [PDF]
Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is an endemic and deformable osteoarthrosis. Epidemiological study has revealed that lower Se level is the principal environmental factor in the pathogenesis of KBD. Selenoprotein P (SEPP1) is a special selenoprotein, which is the primary form of Se in vivo.

An oral nanoplatform, MOP@T@D, which can maintain glucose homeostasis and restore islet β cells in diabetic rats is developed. It achieves efficient intestinal absorption and liver‐targeted delivery. The nanoparticle disintegrates only in response to hyperglycemia to release insulin on demand and provides antioxidant protection through selenoprotein ...

Friend or foe? The current epidemiologic evidence on selenium and human cancer risk. [PDF]
Scientific opinion on the relationship between selenium and the risk of cancer has undergone radical change over the years, with selenium first viewed as a possible carcinogen in the 1940s then as a possible cancer preventive agent in the 1960s-2000s ...

Our study identifies selenium deficiency as a hallmark of MASH pathogenesis. Dietary selenium supplementation enhances hepatic fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and attenuates MASH progression by activating the PPARα pathway via selenoprotein H (SELENOH). This selenium‐SELENOH‐PPARα nexus redefines the functional scope of selenoproteins, moving from redox ...

Selenoprotein P mRNA expression in human hepatic tissues
To investigate the expression of selenoprotein P mRNA (SePmRNA) in tissues of normal liver, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and its relationship with HCC occurrence and development.The expression of SePmRNA in tissues of normal liver, liver cirrhosis and HCC were detected by in situ hybridization using a cDNA probe.The enzyme ...

Congenital muscle disorders with cores: the ryanodine receptor calcium channel paradigm [PDF]
Dysregulation of calcium signals because of defects of the skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release channel (ryanodine receptor; RyR1) is causative of several congenital muscle disorders including malignant hyperthermia (MH; MIM #145600 ...
