This study used 24 male rats to determine the protective effects of a new selenium molecule (glucose selenol) on cadmium (Cd) induced hepatic toxicity. The rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group, Cd group, Cd + 0.15 Se group, and Cd + 0.4 Se group. The results showed that glucose selenol supplementation alleviated the adverse impact of Cd on lipid metabolism, including decreased serum triacylglycerol and cholesterol levels. Transcriptome analysis revealed that, compared to the control group, Cd changed the expression of 1379 genes - discernibly affecting lipid metabolism pathways. Proteomic analysis primarily indicated alterations in lipid metabolism-related pathways. In conclusion, glucose selenol restored lipid metabolism disorders induced by Cd, thus rescuing hepatic damage. This integrated analysis identified the influence of glucose selenol on Cd-induced hepatic toxicity and provided its potential application prospects in alleviating the impact of heavy metal pollution, such as Cd, on human health.
