The Cambridge Structural Database was evaluated for crystals containing Se…O chalcogen bonding interactions. These secondary bonding interactions are found to operate independently of complementary intermolecular interactions in about 13% of the structures they can potentially form. This number rises significantly when more specific interactions ar...

Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are well reported to exhibit pharmacological activities both in vitro and in vivo. However, literature is devoid of studies on the impact of SeNPs and/or metformin (M) against streptozotocin (STZ)-mediated oxidative brain injury and behavioral impairment. Consequently, to fill this gap, diabetes was induced in male Wi...

Curculigoside (CUR) is natural ingredient from Curculigo orchioides Gaertn with multiple biological activities. However, whether CUR protects from ulcerative colitis (UC) and underlying mechanisms are unclear. Herein, mice challenged with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) were established and administrated with CUR for 7 days. Then histological patholog...

Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) contributes to the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Thioredoxin reductase-1 (Txnrd1) inhibition activates nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-dependent responses. Txnrd1 activity is selenium (Se) dependent and Se deficiency is common in prematurity. Auranofin (AFN), a Txnrd1 inhibitor, decreases...

V diplomski nalogi smo naredili primerjavo med različnimi tehnikami igranja taroka. Ustvaril smo tri različne bote. Prvi bot je igralec, ki dela svoje odločitve naključno. Drugi bot ima tehniko igralca začetnika. Tretji bot pa ima tehniko izkušenega igralca. Bot z naprednejšo tehniko je imel skoraj dvakrat več točk kot bot z naključno. Bot z začetn...

• Copper suppresses selenoprotein mRNA levels of GPX1 and selenoprotein W. • Copper inhibits GPX and TXNRD activities. • Copper decreases UGA recoding efficiency. • Copper effects on TXNRD activity also take place in the liver of mice.

BackgroundSelenium is an essential trace element, and selenocysteine (Sec, U) is its predominant form in vivo. Proteins that contain Sec are selenoproteins, whose special structural features include not only the TGA codon encoding Sec but also the SECIS element in mRNA and the conservation of the Sec-flanking region. These unique features have led ...

Selenium (Se), an essential trace element, is inserted as selenocysteine into an array of functional proteins and forms the core of various enzymes that play a cardinal role in antioxidant defense mechanisms, in redox regulation, and in thyroid hormone metabolism. Variations in plasma Se are due to nutritional habits, geographic and ethnic differen...

We aimed to evaluate age-dependent changes of six trace elements (TE) [manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iodine (I), and selenium (Se)] over a 20-year period. TE concentrations were determined using repeated serum samples taken at baseline and after 20 years of follow-up from 219 healthy participants of the EPIC-Potsdam study, usin...

Radiotherapy is one of the most important and common therapies for cancer patients. Selenium has been shown to be capable of reducing the side effects of radiotherapy because selenoproteins have anti-oxidative functions against reactive oxygen species that are induced by the radiation. They also function in DNA-repair and cytokine control. We explo...
