Background: This study provides a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, which examined the effect of the selenium supplementation on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Methods: Confirmed studies related to selenium supplementation and PCOS were searched from the databases of EMBASE, PubMed and Web of Science. Data were reported as weighted mean difference (WMD) or standard mean difference (SMD) and associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Analysis was performed with Stata version 12.0.

Results: A total of 389 cases (selenium group n = 195, control group n = 194) were included in this studies. This meta-analysis showed that selenium supplementation has a positive effect on TAC, and supplementation of selenium does not significantly improve the level of BMI, Weight, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides, Total Testosterone, HOMA-IR, NO, GSH, MDA and FPG.

Conclusion: Although selenium can improve TAC in PCOS patients, it has no significant effect on BMI, Total Testosterone, et al. In terms of the results of this meta-analysis, it is not recommended for patients with PCOS to use selenium as a regular trace element supplement. Based on the improving effect of selenium on TAC, supplementation of selenium may have a positive effect on improving follicle quality for some PCOS patients who have poor follicle quality caused by oxidative stress or who want to undergo IVF.

Exploring the potential association between serum selenium and hypertension in obese adult males in the United States.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Gastroenterology of Shenzhen Second People's Hospital, Health Science Center, Shenzhen Second People's Hospital, The First Affiliated Hospital of Shenzhen University, Shenzhen, 518035, People's Republic of China.

Previous studies on the correlation between serum selenium and hypertension have yielded inconsistent results. Our previous analysis of participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2018 indicated that elevated serum selenium concentrations were associated with an increased risk of metabolic abnormalities in obese individuals, with the primary effect being on blood pressure in males. The aim of this study was to further elucidate the relationship between serum selenium and the risk of hypertension in obese males.

This study focuses on the effects of different levels of sodium selenite on the growth, selenium content, and antioxidant capacity of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens). The experiment used different doses of sodium selenite for treatment, including a basic diet with no supplements (control) and diets supplemented with 10 mg/kg (Se10), 20 mg/kg (Se20), 30 mg/kg (Se30), and 40 mg/kg (Se40) sodium selenite, and results show that sodium selenite supplementation significantly increases selenium content and improves selenium utilization and antioxidant capacity (P < 0.05).

December 2024

Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, Facultad de Salud Pública y Nutrición, Centro de Investigación en Nutrición y Salud Pública, Monterrey 64460, México.

Recent insights into the influence of nutrition on immune system components have driven the development of dietary strategies targeting the prevention and management of major metabolic-inflammatory diseases. This review summarizes the bidirectional relationship between nutrition and immunocompetence, beginning with an overview of immune system components and their functions. It examines the effects of nutritional status, dietary patterns, and food bioactives on systemic inflammation, immune cell populations, and lymphoid tissues, as well as their associations with infectious and chronic disease pathogenesis.

Low-selenium status was associated with impaired renal function, which improved after selenium and coenzyme Q supplementation in an RCT. Here, we evaluated serum glutathione peroxidase-3 (GPx3) and its relation to serum selenium, selenoprotein P (SELENOP), renal function, mortality, and the impact of supplementation, which are all important, especially in elderly individuals. In total, 383 study participants (197 receiving selenium yeast and coenzyme Q and 186 on a placebo) were evaluated.
