Effects of organic, inorganic, and nano-Se on growth performance, antioxidant capacity, cellular and humoral immune responses in broiler chickens exposed to oxidative stress

Organic trace minerals on productive performance, egg quality and immune response in Bovans White laying hens

“…Other trials on broiler chickens have had variable results in the humoral immune response. Feng et al, observed some improvements after the use of zinc‐glycine chelates on IgA and IgY levels; similar results were obtained by Moghaddam & Jahanian, with zinc methionine on IgY titres and by Boostani et al, using selenium methionine on IgM. On the other hand, Silva et al, reported that the use of selenium methionine decreased the production of antibodies; they mentioned that the effect of this mineral is more related to tissues integrity and organs and metabolism improvement.…”

“…Besides, positive effects have been observed on the bone mineralization (Gheisari et al, ; Manangi et al, ), Tm levels in serum (Yenice et al, ), retention in organs (Jlali et al, ; Sun et al, ) and in the activity of some enzymes (Sun et al, ). In respect of immune response, the inclusion of organic Se and Zn has been shown to improve the enzymatic activity against free radicals (Boostani, Sadeghi, Mousavi, Chamani, & Kashan, ; Saad, Gertner, Bona, & Santin, ), the antibody titres (Feng et al, ; Manangi et al, ; Silva et al, ), the size of lymphoid organs (Feng et al, ) and the cellular immune response (Moghaddam & Jahanian, ).…”

Effect of Selenium Nanoparticles on Anti-Oxidative Level, Egg Production and Quality and Blood Parameter of Laying Hens Exposed to Deoxynivalenol

“…The selenium nanoparticle (SeNP), which is one form of elemental selenium (Se0), has lower toxicity and better absorption and it is most effective when provided to broiler chicken under oxidative stress with the same dose but different sources of Se (organic, inorganic and nano-Se) [28]. According to some studies, the size of SeNPs synthesized by microorganisms has mostly been between 20 and 300 nm [20,26,27], and the diameter of the SeNPs in this research was 50 to 110 nm, which is consistent with previous research.…”

Plasma antioxidant capacity, sexual and thyroid hormones levels, sperm quantity and quality parameters in stressed male rats received nano-particle of selenium

“…Boostani et al [18] reported that selenium supplementation increased the plasma level of GSH in chicks.…”

“…Selenium deficiency causes a decrease in intracellular glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity [13], sperm parameters [14,15] and decrease in plasma thyroid hormones levels [12]. In the previous studies [16][17][18], the effects of organic and inorganic sources of selenium on the immunity, growth, health, and reproduction in human and animals were examined; however, effect of nano-particles of selenium on mentioned parameters remained unknown. Nanoselenium (nSe) has recently attracted in animal nutrition attentions, because of high absorbed ability and low toxicity compared to other sources of selenium [8].…”
