The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of selenium supplementation of iron accumulation of rats fed diets containing high levels or iron. Sixty male Sprague-Dawley weaning rats were fed with diets containing various levels of iron(adequate : 35ppm, 2-fold : 70ppm, 4-fold : 140ppm) and selenium(adequat : 0.05ppm and high : 0.05ppm) for 12 weeks. Feed intakes of 2-fold and 4-fold iron groups were higher than that of adequate iron group. There was no difference body weight gain across iron and selenium containing diet groups. Hemoglobin level was increasd with iron increment and decreased with selenium supplementation. Iron contents in serum and tissues were increased as iron intake was increased. Liver iron content was decreased with selenium supplementation. Selenium content in liver was decreased with iron increment and increased with selenium supplementation. In the case of iron balance, iron excretion through urine and feces was significantly increased as iron intake was increased. However, apparent absorbability and retention rate of iron were not significantly affected by dietary iron or selenium.

Background: Selenium is one of the trace minerals whose deficiency is known to lead to complications of female reproduction. The identified gaps in researches regarding selenium and pregnancy include optimizing the dosage of selenium supplementation, timing of supplementation, finding the best form and type of selenium, and selenium administration combined with other antioxidants. Hence, this study was conceptualized to address one of the identified gaps, that is, to find out the best timing of selenium administration around the time of pregnancy. Specifically, this study aimed to assess the effects of maternal Selenium-supplementation, administered at various stages of periconception period, on murine blastocyst morphology, percent occurrence of good quality blastocysts, and implantation status. Methods: ICR female mice were randomly assigned into the unsupplemented group (Group I) receiving basal diet without selenium, and treatment groups given with $3.0{\mu}g$ selenium-supplement per day during pregestation only (Group II), pregestation-throughout-gestation (Group III) and gestation only (Group IV). Both blastocyst morphology and implantation status were assessed. Results: The morphometric measurements of blastocysts appeared to be unaffected by selenium-supplementation at different stages of periconception. Selenium-supplementation at pregestation only (Group II) and gestation only (Group IV) produced higher percent occurrence of good quality blastocysts and lower percent pre-implantation loss than Group III. Among all the treatment groups, Group III (Selenium-supplementation during pregestation-to-gestation) yielded the lowest quality blastocysts and highest percent pre-implantation loss. Conclusion: Maternal selenium-supplementation during pregestation and gestation stages of the periconception period yielded a high percent occurrence of good quality blastocysts and pre-implantation success.

Objective: The effects of the pre- and postpartum supplementation of cows with Se on their plasma P4 concentrations after calving were investigated. Methods: Thirty-four Holstein cows were used to investigate the effects of dietary selenium supplementation on the postpartum recovery of the luteal function in cows. Selenium-rich yeast (containing 300 ppm selenium) was mixed with total mixed ration fed to 17 pregnant cows from 30 days before they were due to calve (10 g yeast daily) to 100 days after calving (20 g yeast daily). The control cows (n = 17) were fed the same amount of ordinary yeast. The cows' plasma progesterone concentrations were determined every two days using an enzyme immunoassay after calving. Results: Feed intake (total digestive nutrient, crude protein), milk production, body weight and the biochemical properties of blood plasma did not differ between the two groups; however, the plasma selenium concentrations of the supplemented animals were significantly greater than those of the controls at and after calving. The postpartum plasma progesterone concentrations of the selenium-yeast-supplemented group increased earlier than those of the control group. Moreover, during the estrus cycle after the 3rd ovulation or ovulation with estrus between 60 to 80 days after calving, the selenium-supplemented cows exhibited greater progesterone concentrations than the control cows. Conclusion: Selenium supplementation promotes the postpartum progesterone production of cows.

본 연구는 셀레늄강화 한우고기 생산을 위하여 셀레늄강화 버섯폐배지(Se-SMC)가 함유된 셀레늄사료(사료내 셀레늄함량: 0.9ppm)를 활용하여 급여사양기간(2개월, 3개월, 4개월)을 달리 하였을 때, 비육후기 거세한우의 조직 내 셀레늄 함량과 혈중 글루타치온 과산화효소(GSH-Px) 활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 최대 포화축적기간을 제시하고자 실시하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 비육후기 거세한우는 30두로 각 급여기간(2개월: 평균 체중 677kg, 3개월: 평균 체중 610kg 및 4개월: 평균 체중 524kg)에 대한 대조구 및 Se-SMC 급여구로 나누어 처리구당 5두씩 배치하여 총 6처리구로 구분하여 실시하였다. 대조구와 Se-SMC 급여구에 사용된 실험사료는 0.1과 0.9ppm의 셀레늄을 각각 함유하였다. 각 급여기간이 종료되면 도축하여 후지와 간을 채취하였으며 이를 셀레늄 함량분석에 이용하였다. 그리고 혈중 셀레늄 농도 및 글루타치온 과산화효소활성을 분석하기 위하여 도축 시에 채혈을 실시하였다. 건물섭취량은 Se-SMC 급여 및 급여기간에 의하여 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 또한 일당증체량은 대조구 및 Se-SMC 급여구간 그리고 급여기간 간에 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았을 뿐만 아니라 총증체량 또한 각 급여기간내 대조구와 Se-SMC 급여구 간에 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. Se-SMC 급여는 혈중 셀레늄농도를 유의하게 증가시켰으나(P<0.001), 급여기간에 따른 혈중셀레늄 농도에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 아울러 혈중 GSH-Px 활성은 혈중 셀레늄농도에서 나타난 양상과 유사한 경향을 나타내었고, 급여기간에 의한 효과는 나타나지 않았다. 후지내 셀레늄 함량은 급여기간(P<0.05)이 증가함에 따라, 그리고 Se-SMC 급여(P<0.001)에 의하여 유의하게 증가하였다. 하지만, Se-SMC의 3개월 급여군과 4개월 급여군 간에는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 간내 셀레늄 함량은 Se-SMC의 급여기간이 증가함에 따라 다소 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으나 유의한 효과는 나타나지 않았다. 하지만, 동일한 급여기간 내 Se-SMC는 대조구에 비하여 유의하게 높았다(P<0.01).이상의 결과로부터 근육내 셀레늄 축적을 위한 적정 Se-SMC 급여기간은 후지와 간내 셀레늄 함량을 고려할 때 약 2 내지 3개월의 급여가 충분할 것으로 사료된다.

The effect of dietary iodine and selenium supplementation, alone or in combination, on peripheral blood lymphocyte function was determined in laying hens. Eight-hundred-and-sixty-four New-Loman laying hens were randomly allotted into 12 dietary treatments with different inclusion levels of iodine (0, 0.1 and 0.2 mg/kg), selenium (0, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 mg/kg) or their combinations for 24 weeks. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation index, concanavalin A (ConA) stimulation index, peroxide enzyme activity and phagocytosis to neutral red particles were tested. There were significant differences in LPS stimulation index, ConA stimulation index, peroxide enzyme activity and phagocytosis to neutral red particles in different iodine or selenium supplementation levels (p<0.05). The highest iodine and selenium supplementation both resulted in highest LPS-/ConA-stimulation indices (p<0.05). However, when iodine was lower than 0.2 mg/kg, the additional effect of different levels of selenium did not always result in significant differences in these indices. The results indicated that iodine and selenium may affect immunity in laying hens and, when the iodine level in the laying hen is lower than 0.2 mg/kg, a selenium allowance higher than 0.1 mg/kg may be necessary to improve immunity.

구리와 셀레늄 보충이 체내 지질함량에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 흰쥐를 대상으로 적정수준, 적정수준의 2배와 4배의 구리, 10배의 셀레늄을 6주간 공급한 후 혈액과 간장의 지질함량 변화를 비교, 분석하였다. 구리와 셀레늄 보충에 따른 사료섭취량, 체중증가량 및 사료효율은 각 군별 유의한 차이가 없었다. 혈청 콜레스테를 함량은 구리 보충수준에 따라 유의한 차이를 보여(p<0.01) 구리 적정군이 가장 낮았으며, LDL-콜레스테롤은 셀레늄의 영향을 받아 (p<0.05) 셀레늄 적정군이 보충군보다 낮은 수준을 보였다. 간장의 콜레스테롤 함량은 구리와 셀레늄의 보충수준에 따라 각각 유의한 차이를 보여(p<0.05, p<0.05) 구리와 셀레늄 보충에 따라 증가하였다. 이상의 연구결과를 종합하면 적정량 이상의 구리와 셀레늄 공급은 간장의 콜레스테롤을 증가시키고 그에 따른 혈청 콜레스테롤과 LDL-콜레스테롤 상승을 초래하였다. 이와 같은 결과를 통해 영양의 균형과 일상 식이를 통한 영양공급의 중요성에 대한 영양지도가 이루어져야 할 것이며, 다양한 무기질의 보충수준에 따른 지질대사의 변화를 살펴보는 지속적인 연구가 요구된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of iron and selenium intakes on utilization of manganese in rats fed adequate, 2-fold, 4-fold iron and adequate, high selenium for 6 weeks. There was no difference feed intake across iron and selenium containing diet groups. Body weight gain in 2-fold iron and high selenium group(MFeHSe) was significantly higher than those in other groups. Serum iron level was increased with iron increment, and liver iron content was decreased with selenium supplementation. Selenium and manganese contents in tissues were decreased with iron increment. In the case of manganese balance, manganese excretion through feces was significantly increased as iron intake was increased. However, retention and apparent absorption of manganese were not significantly affected by dietary iron. From these results, it could be suggested that the supplementations of iron and selenium affected the manganese utilization. Therefore, it must be considered interaction with various minerals in micro-nutrient supplementations.

Twenty-eight Brangus cattle were used to determine the effect of copper and selenium supplementation on performance, feed efficiency, composition of fatty acids in Longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle, and cholesterol concentration in serum and in LD muscle and enzymes activities, reduced glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG). The treatments were: i) Control, without copper (Cu) and selenium (Se) supplementation; ii) Se, 2 mg Se/kg of dry matter such as sodium selenite; iii) Cu, 40 mg Cu/kg of dry matter such as copper sulfate; iv) Se/Cu, 2 mg Se/kg of dry matter such as sodium selenite and 40 mg Cu/kg of dry matter such as copper sulfate. LD muscle fatty acid composition was not influenced by the treatments (p>0.05). The serum concentration of cholesterol was not influenced by the treatments (p>0.05), however, the concentration of cholesterol in LD was lower in cattle supplemented with copper and selenium (p<0.05). Oxidized glutathione and reduced glutathione increased (p<0.05) with Cu, Se and Se/Cu supplementation. The supplementation of copper (40 mg/kg DM) and selenium (2 mg/kg DM) altered the metabolism of lipids in confined Brangus cattle, through a decrease in cholesterol deposition in the LD, possibly by changing the ratio between reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione. Copper and selenium supplementation improved animal performance and feed efficiency (p<0.05) when compared to the control group, providing advantages in the production system, while also benefiting consumers by reducing cholesterol concentration in the meat.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of melatonin and selenium in freezing extenders on frozen-thawed rat sperm. Methods: Semen samples were collected from 20 adult male Wistar albino rats. Following dilution, the samples were divided into six groups: four cryopreserved groups with 1 mM and 0.5 mM melatonin and selenium supplements, and two fresh and cryopreserved control groups. The rapid freezing technique was used to freeze the samples. Flow cytometry was used to assess plasma membrane integrity, mitochondrial membrane potential, and DNA damage, while computer-assisted sperm analysis was used to assess motility. Results: Total motility was higher in the 1 mM melatonin supplementation group than in the cryopreserved control group (mean±standard error of the mean, 69.89±3.05 vs. 59.21±1.31; p≤0.05). The group with 1 mM selenium had the highest plasma membrane integrity (42.35%±1.01%). The cryopreserved group with 0.5 mM selenium had the highest mitochondrial membrane potential, whereas the cryopreserved control group had the lowest (45.92%±4.53% and 39.45%±3.52%, respectively). Conclusion: Cryopreservation of rat semen supplemented with 1 mM melatonin increased sperm motility after freeze-thawing, while supplementation with 0.5 mM selenium increased mitochondrial activity.
