Researchers found that increased consumption of the trace mineral selenium correlates with lower odds of suicidal ideation in ...

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element crucial for human health that primarily functions as an immunonutrient. It is incorporated into polypeptides such as selenocysteine (SeC) and ...

“Selenium is an essential mineral that helps to support your metabolism, immune system, and cardiovascular health,” says Nasser. “Although needed in small amounts, it’s essential for your overall well ...

Selenium-rich foods, from Brazil nuts to tuna, help maintain thyroid hormone balance, antioxidant defenses, and immune function when consumed in safe amounts. Balancing intake matters: too little ...

Abstract: At present available computational methods can not predict selenoproteins correctly because of the special features of selenoproteins. It is known that there are some conservative sections ...

Abstract: Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and other selenoproteins (SeP) are involved in the detoxification of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS is implicated in preeclampsia (PE). Generation of ROS and ...

Selenoproteins play a crucial role in protecting blood-forming stem cells from oxidative damage. A study in Blood found that disrupting selenoprotein production impairs immune cell development and ...

A team led by Osaka University researchers examines how antioxidant enzymes affect certain cell types and contribute to age-related diseases Many foods are often advertised for their antioxidant ...

Researchers find that certain antioxidant enzymes, called selenoproteins, significantly contribute to fighting cell aging. The team used a gene knockout mouse model to help them study the effects of ...

Osaka, Japan – Many foods are often advertised for their antioxidant properties. Antioxidants counteract what are known as reactive oxygen species (ROS), chemically reactive molecules that can disrupt ...

Selenium is vital for the thyroid gland and immune system. A deficiency can cause tiredness, hair loss, recurring sickness, muscle weakness, and brain fog. Eating selenium-rich foods such as Brazil ...
