چکیده
Natural Sciences[1] Natural Sciences[1]Fish [2]Reproductive health [3]Norway [4]Forskning.no [5] Although experimented on zebrafish, the researchers believe the results are applicable to humans. It has been previously shown that selenium can protect from the toxic effects mercury (Hg) has to the nervous system. However, little is known about how they interact in reproduction. In a recently published study, scientists from NIFES The National Institute of Nutrition and Seafood Research in Norway studied interactions between selenomethionine (SeMet) and methylmercury (MeHg) in zebrafish. The organic forms of selen and mercury, respectively.

Selenium supplementation in critically ill patients: can too much of a good thing be a bad thing?
A recent study by Forceville and colleagues evaluated the effect of high-dose selenium administration as a treatment for septic shock. The study was negative and conflicts with existing clinical data regarding selenium administration in critically ill patients. Perhaps the key to understanding the differences between these discrepant observations lies in considering the dose and timing of selen...

متن کاملEffect of reproduction on the bioavailability of calcium, zinc and selenium.
Nutrient needs increase during pregnancy and lactation to support fetal growth and milk synthesis, respectively. Physiological adjustments that are made to meet those needs alter the fraction of ingested nutrient retained, or the bioavailability. Using stable isotopes as tracers, we measured calcium, zinc and selenium homeostasis in women during reproduction. The physiological response, and the...
