Selenomethionine Mitigates Effects of Induced Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Apoptosis in Bovine Mammary Epithelial Cells.

causes bovine mastitis, reduces milk quantity and quality, and is often resistant to antimicrobials. Selenomethionine (SeMet) is a form of selenium, which reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated apoptosis and intramammary infections. However, the protective effects of SeMet on -infected bovine mammary epithelial cells (bMECs) are unclear.
