Summary: The emergence of ferroptosis as a cell death pathway associated with brain disorders highlights the importance of developing therapeutics targeting the brain and protecting neurons. Selenium compounds have shown to be effective in inhibiting ferroptosis, with organic selenium compounds like methylselenocysteine providing protection against neuronal damage in ischemia-reperfusion injury in vivo. This suggests the potential use of ferroptosis inhibitors and specific selenium compounds in preventing neuronal damage in ischemic stroke and other related brain diseases.

Summary: This study examined the effects of dietary selenium nanoparticles (Se-N) on the performance of whiteleg shrimp juveniles. The results showed that supplementing the diet with Se-N improved the growth performance and feed conversion ratio of the shrimp. Increasing levels of Se-N in the diet also led to higher selenium levels in the shrimp's body. Additionally, Se-N supplementation increased the activities of certain enzymes and reduced oxidative stress in the shrimp.

Summary: It has been 50 years since the discovery of the first selenoprotein, and our understanding of the importance of selenium has greatly increased. We now know that the brain relies on selenium for proper functioning, and a lack of certain selenoproteins can lead to neurodegeneration. Additionally, selenoprotein-mediated redox balance has been found to affect neuronal activity.

Summary: Selenium deficiency in rats had negative effects on growth and sperm quality, with reduced sperm motility and increased deformities. The expression levels of selenoproteins, particularly GPx4 and SEPP1, were significantly lower in the deficient group, suggesting a potential mechanism for the observed effects on sperm quality.

Summary: The study investigates the developmental patterns of selenium content and selenoprotein expression in the liver and longissimus dorsi muscle of Duroc pigs at different growth stages. The results show that age significantly affects the expression of various selenoproteins in both the liver and muscle. The concentrations of glutathione peroxidase, thioredoxin reductase, and selenoprotein P increase with age and are correlated with selenium content, except at 80 days of age.

Summary: Selenium (Se) has both antioxidant and pro-oxidant activity, and its biological effect depends on dose and speciation. Acid anhydride-coated carbon dots (AA-CD) can be used as a platform for preparing nanoparticles containing chemically defined Se. These nanoparticles show tunable hydrosolubility and exhibit glutathione peroxidase-like activity and cytotoxicity. The toxicity of the nanoparticles depends on dose, time, and intracellular glutathione (GSH) content, and is neutralized over time.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
