Background The skeletal muscle of pigs is vulnerable to oxidative damage, resulting in
growth retardation. Selenoproteins are important components of antioxidant systems for …

In the present study, the chronic heat stress (CHS) broiler model was developed to
investigate the potential protection mechanism of organic selenium (selenomethionine …

Background Nutritional muscle dystrophy is associated with selenium (Se) deficiency;
however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Objectives This study aimed to …

Chronic heat stress (CHS) induces metabolic changes in skeletal muscle from growth to
maintenance that jeopardizes growth performance, carcass traits, and meat quality of pigs …

Nutritional muscular dystrophy (NMD) of chicks is induced by dietary selenium (Se)/vitamin
E (Vit. E) deficiencies and may be associated with oxidative cell damage. To reveal the …

microRNA (miRNA) controls the post-transcriptional translation of mRNA to affect the
expression of many genes participating in functional interaction pathways. Selenoproteins …

Selenium (Se) is essential for human and animal health, but there have been few studies on
the mechanisms of injury in dairy cows with Se deficiency. This study aimed to evaluate the …

Background Chronic heat stress (CHS) disrupts hepatic metabolic homeostasis and
jeopardizes product quality of pigs. Selenium (Se) may regulate the metabolic state through …

The effects and mechanisms of dietary selenium-enriched yeast (SeY, at Se 0, 0.25, and
0.50 mg/kg) on breast meat quality and oxidative stability of heat-stressed laying hens were …

Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) causes oxidative stress in the skeletal muscle. Serine
and selenoproteins are involved in anti-oxidative processes; however, whether IUGR affects …
