Thioredoxin (Txn) system is the most crucial antioxidant defense mechanism in myocardium. The aim of this study was to clarify the effect of Txn low expression on 25 selenoproteins in chicken cardiomyocytes. We developed a Se-deficient model (0.033mg/kg) and Txn knock down cardiomyocytes model (siRNA) studies. Western Blot, Quantitative Real-time PCR (qPCR) were performed, and correlation analysis, heat map were used for further analysis. Both low expression of Txn models are significantly decreased (P<0.05) the mRNA levels of Deiodinase 1, 2 (Dio 1, 2), Glutathione Peroxidase 1, 2, 3, 4 (Gpx 1, 2, 3, 4), Thioredoxin Reductase 1, 2, 3 (TR 1, 2, 3), Selenoprotein t (Selt), Selenoprotein w (Selw), Selenoprotein k (Selk), selenoprotein x1 (Sepx1), and significantly increased (P<0.05) the mRNA levels of the rest of selenoproteins. Correlation analysis showed that Deiodinase 3 (Dio 3), Selenoprotein m (Selm), 15-kDa Selenoprotein (Selp15), Selenoprotein h (Selh), Selenoprotein u (Selu), Selenoprotein i (Seli), Selenoprotein n (Seln), Selenoprotein p1 (Sepp1), Selenoprotein o (Selo), Selenoprotein s (Sels), Selenoprotein synthetase 2 (Sels2) and Selenoprotein p (Selp) had a negative correlation with Txn, while the rest of selenoproteins had a positive correlation with Txn. Combined in vivo and in vitro we can know that hamper Txn expression can inhibit Gpx 1, 2, 3, 4, TR 1, 2, 3, Dio 1, 2, Selt, Selw, Selk, Sepx1, meanwhile, over expression the rest of selenoproteins. In conclusion, the different selenoproteins possess and exhibit distinct responses to silence of Txn in chicken cardiomyocytes.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the redox balance in subcutaneous and retroperitoneal fat pads of male and female Wistar rats.
Materials And Methods: The study analyzed the activity and gene expression of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, along with the production of NADPH oxidases dependent on HO and gene expression of NOX1, NOX2, and NOX4.
Results: The retroperitoneal fat pad in males compared with females had greater NOX2 and NOX4 expression, along with higher superoxide dismutase activity.

Objective: To study the effect of Dapagliflozin on ferroptosis in rabbits with chronic heart failure and to reveal its possible mechanism.
Methods: Nine healthy adult male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into Sham group (only thorax opening was performed in Sham group, no ascending aorta circumferential ligation was performed), Heart failure group (HF group, ascending aorta circumferential ligation was performed in HF group to establish the animal model of heart failure), and Dapagliflozin group (DAPA group, after the rabbit chronic heart failure model was successfully made in DAPA group). Dapagliflozin was given by force-feeding method.

Objective: This study aims to identify whether the development of insulin resistance (IR) induced by high selenium (Se) is related to serine deficiency via the inhibition of the de novo serine synthesis pathway (SSP) by the administrations of 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) inhibitor (NCT503) or exogenous serine in mice.
Method: forty-eight male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four groups: adequate-Se (0.1 mgSe/kg), high-Se (0.

Objective: Myocardial injury is a prevalent complication of sepsis. This study aims to shed light on the role of Acyl-CoA Synthetase Long Chain Family Member 4 (ACSL4) in regulating Fatty Acid Synthase (FASN) to identify the intrinsic molecular mechanisms of sepsis-induced myocardial injury.
Method: H9c2 cells were treated with Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to model sepsis-induced cardiomyocyte injury and were subsequently divided into seven groups: Control, LPS, LPS+sh-NC, LPS+sh-ACSL4, LPS+sh-ACSL4+Erastin, LPS+sh-ACSL4+oe-NC, and LPS+sh-ACSL4+oe-FASN.

Here, a high molecular weight polysaccharide preparation from Ophiocordyceps gracilis was utilized as a stabilizer and dispersant to create nanocomposites based on selenium nanoparticles (GSP-1a-SeNPs). The NPs showed the highest stability at a selenium/polysaccharide mass ratio of 1:1, with no significant change after 28 days of storage at 4 °C. The NPs exhibited a symmetrical spheroid structure with an average diameter of 85.
