Selenium deficiency is closely related with various type of cardiovascular disease. However, the miRNA-mRNA regulatory network in Selenium deficiency related cardiac change remains to be understand. In the present study, a reliable Selenium deficiency rat model was established and confirmed by pathological and biochemical examination. The mRNA and miRNA expression profiles were conducted by microarray technology. Gene Ontology (GO) Analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) Pathway Analysis was performed to investigate the function of targeted genes, and the relationship between miRNA and mRNA was studied by network analysis. A total of 4931 mRNAs and 119 miRNAs was differentially expressed between any two groups (control group, low-selenium group and selenium supplementation group). GO and KEGG pathway analysis of selected miRNAs target genes found that selenium deficiency was related to several different biological processes. Furthermore, a miRNA-mRNA regulatory network was conducted to illustrate the interaction of miRNAs and these targeted genes. In conclusion, our present study provides a new insight that potential molecular mechanism of Selenium deficiency was a multiply miRNAs and mRNA caused biological change.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains the most prevalent type of primary liver cancer worldwide. p53 is one of the most frequently mutated tumor-suppressor genes in HCC and its deficiency in hepatocytes triggers tumor formation in mice. To investigate iron metabolism during liver carcinogenesis, we employed a model of chronic carbon tetrachloride injections in liver-specific p53-deficient mice to induce liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and subsequent carcinogenesis.

Objectives: There is limited research on thyroid function in pediatric patients with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). This study aimed to determine the frequency of thyroid dysfunction in children and adolescents with CF and to evaluate iodine deficiency and selenium status in pwCF.
Methods: Sixty-two CF patients and 62 control subjects were evaluated.

Selenium deficiency associated with a high risk of many diseases remains a global challenge. Owing to the narrow margin between "nutrition-toxicity" doses of selenium, it is imperative to achieve accurate selenium supplement. Nano‑selenium (SeNPs) is a novel form of selenium supplement with low toxicity, but it could be trapped and removed by intestinal mucus, thus limiting its oral delivery.

Selenium is widely acknowledged as an indispensable trace element for humans and various animals, including poultry. The addition of selenium in appropriate doses plays a crucial role in promoting poultry growth and reproduction. Conversely, both deficiency and excessive intake of selenium can pose significant threats to poultry health and production performance.

Background/objectives: The rise in chronic metabolic diseases has led to the exploration of alternative diets. The carnivore diet, consisting exclusively of animal products, has gained attention, anecdotally, for imparting benefit for inflammatory conditions beyond that possible by other restrictive dietary approaches. The aim was to assess the micronutrient adequacy of four versions of the carnivore diet against national nutrient reference values (NRVs).
