Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImmunomodulatory and Antioxidant Activities of Selenium-Enriched Polysaccharides from Epimedium and Isatis IndigoticaRui Zhang, Jin Li, Jiajia ZhouThis study aims to investigate the effects of selenium modification on polysaccharides derived from two traditional Chinese medicinal herbs-Epimedium (Yinyanghuo) and Isatis root (Banlangen)-in enhancing immune function and antioxidant activity. The purpose is to explore the relationship between structure and function, providing a theoretical basis for the development of efficient plant-based functional antioxidants. Polysaccharides were extracted using an optimized enzymatic … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 3 Feb 2026 · 1,933 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIn vitro Ruminal Cumulative Gas and Methane Production, Enzyme Activity, Fermentation Profile and Nutrient Digestibility on Feed Supplemented with Organic SeleniumMoh. Sofi’ul Anam, Andriyani Astuti, Budi Prasetyo Widyobroto et al.Methane (CH4) emissions are indeed a global environmental concern and ruminants are a significant source of these emissions; however, there is limited understanding regarding the contribution of organic Selenium (Se) in mitigating CH4 emissions. Hence, this study investigated the impact of supplementing organic Se from Selenomethionine (Se-Met) on the in vitro ruminal cumulative gas and CH4 production, fermentation profile, enzyme … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 26 Oct 2023 · 5,215 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSelenium Enriched Peanut Protein Alleviates Alcohol-Induced Liver Damage in Mice by Modulating the Composition of the Gut MicrobiotaLin Gao, Jiawei Yuan, Yuhuan Cheng et al.Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is one of leading external causes of mortality. Selenium-enriched Peanut Protein (SePP) is a type of Se compound present in Se-enriched plants. Our previous studies showed that SePP possesses potential therapeutic properties and could alleviate alcohol-induced AML-12 cytotoxicity. It spurred us to determine the underlying mechanisms and roles of SePP on gut microbiota. Here, ICR mice … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 23 Dec 2021 · 6,230 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleProduction of Selenium-Enriched Yeast (Kluyveromyces marxianus) Biomass in a whey-based Culture MediumNicolás Gurdo, Mario Calafat, Diego Gabriel Noseda, Isabel GigliTwo important aspects of agriculture intensification are the reduction in the concentration of specific soil minerals that affects livestock production and the increase of agricultural by-products, which produce environmental pollution. In this regard, whey - a cheese by-product-often is considered a wasted-product. Due to its lactose concentration, (4.5%), when whey is discarded without treatment generates a high Biological Oxygen Demand … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 28 Jun 2018 · 11,375 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSelenium and Cadmium Tissue Concentrations and the CASA Sperm Motility Analysis after Administration to RatsRobert Toman, Svatoslav Hluchy, Peter Massanyi et al.The accumulation of Selenium (Se) and Cadmium (Cd) and their effects on sperm motility parameters in rats were investigated. Male rats were dosed with Cd (group A: 2 mg kg-1 b.w., intraperitoneally, group B: 30 mg L-1, per os in drinking water) and Se (group D: 2 mg kg-1 b.w., intraperitoneally, group E: 5 mg L-1, per os in drinking … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2014 · 7,979 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSelenium Effect on Hyperoxia-Induced Glutathione Peroxidase Activity and Free Radicals Production in the BrainIsmaeel Bin-JaliahThe purpose of this study was to examine the behavior of Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) activity and Free Radicals (FR) production in the brain during graded hyperoxia exposure with and without selenium preventive intake. Forty two adult male rats were assigned to seven groups, six animals each. The first group served as control and the second, third and fourth groups were … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 7 Dec 2013 · 6,745 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDetermining Optical Constants of Selenium Thin Films using the Envelope MethodNehad M. Tashtoush, Osamah ALkasassbehTwo Selenium thin films were deposited on glass substrates using thermal evaporation technique. The optical constants (refractive index, absorption coefficient and extinction coefficient and energy gap) were calculated using the Transmittance (T) spectrums of the films in the spectral range of 500-900 nm. The envelope method was used to determine optical constants. The calculated refractive index was found to be … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 15 Feb 2013 · 6,337 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNutritional control of HIV-AIDS-A case for SeleniumParisa Kalantari, Hema Vunta, Umamaheswari D. Palempalli et al.Selenium (Se) is a micronutrient that is incorporated into proteins. Some of the selenoenzymes such as GPXs and thioredoxin reductases exhibit glutathione peroxidase-dependent activities towards organic and inorganic peroxides. Thus, selenoenzymes play a pivotal role in mitigating oxidative stress caused by accumulation of peroxides. In this respect, selenoproteins may interfere with the transcription-driven by oxidative stress-dependent signaling mechanisms to influence … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,344 accessesView PDFCite
HypothesisOpen accessIn the keywordsNatural Substances as New Potential Strategies for the Treatment of Leishmaniosisin DogsDe Vito Virginia, Helen Owen, Amnart Poapolathep, Giorgi MarioLeishmaniasis is a disease caused by the protozoan parasites Leishmania, infecting numerous mammal species. Canine leishmaniasis is potentially zoonotic and causes severe fatal disease in dogs. The discovery of new natural products extracted from medicinal plants or compounds derived from them, such as quercetin, hesperidin, vitamin c, horse chestnut extract and selenium could represent a valuable source of new medicinal … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2017 · 8,857 accessesView PDFCite
