“…Hence, soil selenium concentrations are principal determinants of the minerals in plants and humans [46]. The level of the mineral in the body also depends on state of activity, dialysis, oral contraceptive use, diurnality, pregnancy, and lactation [47,48], among others. The daily allowance of the mineral is 55 micrograms according to the National Institute of Medicine without gender-related variation.…”

Physiological processes exhibit distinct rhythmic patterns influenced by external cues. External cues such as photic signal play an important role in the synchronization of physiological rhythms. However, excess of or indiscriminate exposure to photic signals exerts profound effects on physiological processes, disrupting normal hormonal secretory rhythms, altering sleep/wakefulness cycle, and impairing reproductive function. Alteration in sleep/wakefulness cycle, impairment in reproductive cycle, and disruption of normal hormonal secretory rhythms characterize risk groups for photic stress such as night workers, trans-meridian travelers, and night-active people. Evidence from primary studies is increasing on the tendency of selenium to reset internal biorhythms by targeting circadian proteins and melatonin. The review highlights the chronobiological roles of selenium.
