“…Many authors compared, in the first place, inorganic forms of selenium such as selenite and selenate and Se-enriched yeast and discovered higher concentrations of selenium in the blood (Pehrson et al, 1999; Pavlata et al, 2001; Guyot et al, 2007Phipps et al, 2008), body (Sevcikova et al, 2011), and in milk Givens et al, 2004; Muñiz-Naveiro et al, 2005 of animals supplemented with Se-enriched yeast. Pechova et al (2008) compared selenium concentrations in goat milk after per oral administration of selenium in the form of Se-enriched yeast, lactate-protein complex, and selenium proteinate and they discovered that the levels of selenium in milk were significantly higher only in the group supplemented with Se-enriched yeast than in the controls as well as in both groups supplemented with other forms of selenium.…”

“…(Trávníček et al, 2008(Trávníček et al, , 2010Heindl et al, 2010;Skřivan et al, 2010a, b;Wang et al, 2011). In some experiments it was documented that the organic form of selenium (especially selenomethionine) is more available than inorganic forms (Pavlata et al, 2001; Gunter et al, 2003; Kuricová et al, 2003Weiss and Hogan, 2005; Guyot et al, 2007; Pechova et al, 2008Steen et al, 2008;Sevcikova et al, 2011;Pavlata et al, 2011a). However, several papers comparing various forms of Se supplementation have recently been published and some results not confirming better biological effect of organic-bound forms of selenium have occurred (Leeson et al, 2008;Heindl et al, 2010;Pavlata et al, 2011b).…”

During pregnancy and lactation the mother's demands for selenium increase because selenium is necessary for the foetus and the newborn kids (Smith and Picciano, 1986; Anan et al., 2009). A decrease in the concentration of selenium in the blood was confirmed during parturition and beginning of lactation . Selenium concentrations also decreased in the liver of pregnant animals as compared to the non-pregnant ones; it was discovered that selenium The goal of the experiment was to compare the effect of four different forms of selenium (Se) − sodium selenite (SS), lactate-protein selenium complex (SL), selenium enriched yeast (SY), and seleniumproteinate (SP) supplemented to pregnant goats on Se concentration and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in the blood of goats on the day of delivery and also on Se concentration and GSH-Px activity in the blood of newborn kids. The experiment involved 33 pregnant goats of White Short-haired breed. The supplementation started 6 weeks before the parturition. The goats were divided into 5 groups: control group C, not supplemented, and 4 trial groups (SL, SP, SS, SY), which received Se in the above stated forms by the means of supplemented pellets (300 g per animal per day) at a rate 900 μg Se/kg of dry matter. The average Se concentrations in the blood of the goats were 79.6 μg/l in group C, 152.6 μg/l in group SL, 167.1 μg/l in group SP, 144.9 μg/l in group SS, and 152.9 μg/l in group SY. Selenium concentrations in all 4 trial groups were significantly higher (P < 0.01) than in control group, however no significant difference was found between individual trial groups. Likewise, the activity of GSH-Px in goat blood increased significantly in all supplemented groups compared to the controls; however we did not discover any significant differences in activity of GSH-Px between the individual selenium-supplemented groups. The Se concentrations in the blood of kids were significantly (P < 0.01) higher in the selenium-supplemented groups (SL -94.9 μg/l, SP -87.5 μg/l, SS -87.6 μg/l, SY -92.5 μg/l) than in the control group (C -49.4 μg/l), but we did not discover any differences between the individual experimental groups. The activity of GSH-Px in the blood of the kids tended towards higher values in the supplemented groups than in the control group, but the values were significantly higher (P < 0.05) only in groups SY and SL. We have found significant correlation between GSH-Px activity and Se concentration in the blood of goats (r = 0.86) and newborn kids (r = 0.95). Likewise, there was significant correlation between Se concentration in the blood of goats and their kids (r = 0.74). We discovered that the kids are reaching physiologically only about 60% of Se status in whole blood in comparison with their mothers. Our results are suggesting that all the above forms of Se were similarly utilised and transferred into the foetus in the goats.

“…Tissue selenium content in different organs of the younglings were the highest in the Se-yeast group, but the other organic forms were also more effective as supplements than selenite. 27 Sodium selenite was also compared with dextrin stabilized selenium nanoparticles (both forms used at doses 10-100 μg/mL). An in vitro investigation revealed that the viability of the nanoparticle-treated cells was much higher than in the case of those treated by selenite.…”

Selenium is a trace element which fulfils important functions in the organism. Its deficit may cause acute disorders, but an overdose can also lead to severe consequences. The functions of selenium in the organism are mainly connected with its antioxidant properties, as it is an essential part of important antioxidant enzymes. Disturbances of oxidant balance have been found to be involved in the activity of numerous harmful factors as well as in the pathogenesis of diverse illnesses. Selenium administration has proved to be effective against the toxicity of many agents and the side effects of drugs. However, the narrow range between therapeutic and toxic doses of selenium, as well as the dependence of its effect on the applied form, dose and method of treatment, makes the choice of the most effective supplement a very complex issue. Divergent forms of selenium are still being studied, including both inorganic and organic compounds as well as Se-enriched natural products. The newest research has also involved selenium nanoparticles. The aim of this review is to present the great potential of selenium for protecting the organism against a wide variety of environmental pollutants, drugs and physical factors.

Several mushroom species are consumed by collecting from the nature or in cultured form for their nutritional and medical characteristics. The objective of the present study is to determine antioxidant activities, DNA-protective activities, total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), oxidative stress indices (OSI) and Fe, Mg, Zn, Cu, Na and Ca content in Auricularia auricula (L.) Underw. and Trametes versicolor (L.) Lloyd mushroom species. Mushroom ethanol extracts were obtained and antioxidant activities with DPPH method, TAS, TOS and OSI values with Rel Assay Diagnostics kits, and DNA protective activities using pBR322 supercoil DNA were identified. Furthermore, Fe, Mg, Zn, Cu, Na and Ca contents were determined with atomic absorption spectrophotometer. It was determined that antioxidant potential of mushroom ethanol extracts were low compared to the standard and they did not have DNAprotective activities. It was also observed that the mushrooms have variable element content, and have similar TAS, TOS and OSI levels. High OSI values found in both mushroom species showed that these mushroom are unhealthy. Thus, it was recommended to demonstrate caution in consumption of mushrooms collected in these regions. However, it was also considered that the mushroom samples collected from regions with adequate OSI values could be used as antioxidant. IntroductıonThe usage of various foods and natural products for therapeutic purposes has a long history [1]. Since early times, mushrooms have been an important nutrient for humans and have had significant medical values [2,3]. The number of mushroom species is estimated to be around 140,000 and only 10% of these (about 14,000) have been designated [4]. Today, along with the increase in molecular studies, their use in biological warfare as well as in the production of antibiotic and other pharmacological products has increased [5]. In addition to immune system booster, antitumor, antibacterial, antiviral and anti-mutagenic effects, it is also known that mushrooms are effective in prevention and treatment of diseases such as hypertension and hypercholesterolemia [6][7][8]. Macro-fungi are a significant nutritional supplement for humans. However, several fungus species accumulate both important nutritional elements and heavy metals in their fruit bodies [9]. Although living organisms need certain elements such as iron, cobalt, copper, manganese, chrome and zinc in trace amounts, excessive amounts of these elements create toxic effects on these living organisms [10]. Thus, regardless of the purpose of it's use, it is of utmost importance to determine metal concentrations in the mushrooms before consumption.Oxidative stress occurs as a result of the imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant defense produced in living organisms [11]. ROS are highly reactive O 2 metabolites that include superoxideradical, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical. The ROS causes considerable injury to DNA, protein and lipid and it is claimed that this in...
