Selenium (Se) has important anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, plays an important role in the immune system through redox balance, and is part of selenoproteins. In patients who are critically ill, Se supplementation causes alterations in inflammatory markers such as procalcitonin, leukocyte count, albumin, prealbumin, C-reactive protein...

Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for the human body and is closely linked to health. Rice (Oryza sativa L.), as a major staple food globally, is the primary source of Se intake for humans. To better achieve Se biofortification in rice, it is crucial to understand the molecular mechanisms behind rice’s response to different Se concentrati...

Aromatic rice is famous for its pleasant aroma which consists of many flavor volatiles. The present study was to explore the effects of selenium nanoparticle (SeNP) application on flavor volatiles of aromatic rice based on a worldwide database of flavor molecules accessed on November 19 2024. A field experiment was carried out with the foliar appli...

Background: Selenium (Se), a vital trace element, plays a neuroprotective role by mitigating oxidative stress through selenoproteins and regulating metal balance. The apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), a significant genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), has been linked to reduced Se levels and weakened antioxidant capacity. This resear...

Previous studies have shown that selenium (Se) can influence rice growth and yield. However, the Se effect on rice lodging remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the impact of different Se treatments on seedling growth and stem sheath hardness in fragrant rice. A hydroponic experiment was conducted using two fragrant rice varieties, Yuxia...

The Group 16 elements of the periodic table have a characteristic valence shell configuration instrumental to their chemical properties and reactivities. The electrostatic potentials of these so-called chalcogens have been exploited in the design of materials that require the efficient passage of electrons including supermagnets, photocatalytic dye...

The bacterial enzyme tRNA 2-selenouridine synthase (SelU) catalyzes the conversion of 5-substituted 2-thiouridine (R5S2U) to 5-substituted 2-selenouridine (R5Se2U) at the wobble positions of several tRNAs. Seleno-modification potentially regulates translation efficiency in response to selenium availability. Notably, SelU uses the 2-geranylthiouridi...

This study investigated the protective effect of selenium (Se) in a cadmium (Cd)-induced nephrotoxicity model in rats and the role of the TRPM2 channel in this mechanism. For this purpose, Cd (25 mg/kg orally), Se (0.5 mg/kg i.p.), and 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB), a TRPM2 channel antagonist, (3 mg/kg i.p.) were administered to rats every d...

Selenate, the most common form of selenium (Se) in soil environments, is beneficial for higher plants. Selenate is similar to sulfate in terms of the structure and the manner of assimilation by plants, which involves the reduction of selenate to selenide and the replacement of an S moiety in the organic compounds such as amino acids. The nonspecifi...

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 selenomethionine (SeMet), two key amino acids involved in various biochemical processes. All living organisms can convert inorganic Se into biologically active orga...
