Int J Food Sci Technol 2022; 57:6336-6349. [PMID: 36605250 PMCID: PMC9804181 DOI: 10.1111/ijfs.15979] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
Selenium (Se) is essential for human health, however, data on population Se status and agriculture-nutrition-health linkages are limited in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The scoping review aims to identify linkages between Se in soils/crops, dietary Se intakes, and livestock and human Se status in SSA. Online databases, organisational websites and grey literature were used to identify articles. Articles were screened at title, abstract and full text levels using eligibility criteria. The search yielded 166 articles from which 112 were excluded during abstract screening and 54 full text articles were assessed for eligibility. The scoping review included 34 primary studies published between 1984 and 2021. The studies covered Se concentrations in soils (n = 7), crops (n = 9), animal tissues (n = 2), livestock (n = 3), and human Se status (n = 15). The evidence showed that soil/crop Se concentrations affected Se concentration in dietary sources, dietary Se intake and biomarkers of Se status. Soil types are a primary driver of human Se status and crop Se concentration correlates positively with biomarkers of Se dietary status. Although data sets of Se concentrations exist across the food system in SSA, there is limited evidence on linkages across the agriculture-nutrition nexus. Extensive research on Se linkages across the food chain is warranted.

Abstract
The present study was undertaken to explore the effect of administration of high doses of sodium selenite on the expression of Bcl-2 in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Fifty patients with newly diagnosed NHL were randomly divided into two groups. Group A-I received standard chemotherapy whereas group A-II received adjuvant sodium selenite 0.2 mg kg-1 day-1 for 30 days in addition to chemotherapy. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to assess Bcl-2 at the time of diagnosis and after therapy in the two groups. Sodium selenite administration resulted in significant decline of Bcl-2 level after therapy in group A-II (8.6 +/- 6.9 ng/ml vs 3 6.9 +/- 7.9 ng/ml, P < 0.05). Also, complete response reached 60% in group A-II compared to 40% in group A-I. Significant increase in CD4/CD8 ratio was noticed in group A-II compared to group A-I after therapy (1.45 +/- 0.36 vs 1.10 +/- 0.28 p 0.04). Overall survival time in months was significantly longer in complete remission patients in group A-II (21.87 +/- 1.41) compared to group A-I (19.70 +/- 1.95) (p = 0.01). It is concluded that sodium selenite administration at the dosage and duration chosen acts as a down regulator of Bcl-2 and improves clinical outcome.

Abstract
Starting from the fetal life and increasing the need throughout the childhood, adequate intake of micronutrients is of great importance for the proper development of structure and function of the body, and the well being. However, micronutrient deficiency is widespread in many populations of the world mainly due to nutritional insufficiencies and/or inadequate and unbalanced nutrition. While iodine and selenium (Se) are inadequately available for men and live stock in many parts of the world, Turkey is one of those countries where iodine deficiency (ID) is widespread, Se levels are marginal. In this communication, importance of adequate iodine and Se nutrition and status of Turkish children is summarized.

Abstract
Selenium is an essential trace element which is part of the active site of seleno-dependent glutathione peroxidase and type 1 deiodinase. Therefore, it plays a key role in thyroid hormone metabolism. The present work was undertaken in order to evaluate selenium status in two Ivory Coast populations: the first with high (Glanlé) and the second with low (Abidjan) prevalence of iodine deficiency. Selenium, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, glutathione and diglutathione were determined in blood and/or urine. In plasma and erythrocytes, selenium and glutathione peroxidase were dramatically low in Glanlé. Compared to Abidjan, selenium, glutathione peroxidase, vitamin E and riboflavin status were decreased whereas diglutathione was increased in Glanlé. The results clearly demonstrate a selenium deficiency and suggest an oxidant stress in Glanlé. Causes and consequences of this selenium deficiency and oxidant stress remain to be determined.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is a naturally occurring trace element that is essential for animal and human nutrition, but the range between dietary requirements and toxic levels is relatively narrow. In this review, we are interested in the beneficial effects of selenium and we report on a number of studies of the selenium status of different populations in Saudi Arabia. The Status reflects the geographical area inhabited by the populations. Apart from the few available studies reviewed here, no data on the human status of Se in Saudi Arabia has been obtained. A further objective of this paper is throw some the light on the direction of future studies.

Abstract
Selenium content of 1028 milk and milk products of Turkey are presented in this study. The selenium content of human milk (colostrum, transitional, and mature milk), various kinds of milk [cow, sheep, goat, buffalo, paper boxes (3%, 1.5%, 0.012% fat), bottled milk, condensed milk (10% fat), mineral added milk (1.6%), and banana, strawberry, and chocolate milk] and milk products (kefir, yogurt, Ayran, various cheese, coffee cream, ice cream, butter, margarine, milk powder, and fruit yogurt) in Turkey were determined by a spectrofluorometric method. The selenium levels of cow milks collected from 57 cities in Turkey were also determined. Selenium levels in cow milk varied with geographical location in Turkey and were found to be lowest for Van and highest for Aksaray. The results [milk (cow, sheep, goat, buffalo and human) and milks products] were compared with literature data from different countries.

Abstract
A gas chromatography mass spectrometric method using negative chemical ionisation was developed for the determination of stable isotopes of selenium for evaluation of selenium absorption and retention from foods in humans. The method involves an acid digestion to convert all selenium into selenite, which subsequently reacts with 4-nitro-o-phenylene-diamine to form a volatile piazselenole. The piazselenole, after extraction into an organic solvent, was analysed for its isotopic selenium composition by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Negative chemical ionisation is reported for the first time for the determination of selenium stable isotopes and its analytical characteristics were compared to those of electron impact mass spectrometric ionisation, classically used for the determination of selenium. The negative chemical ionisation technique allowed accurate determination of total selenium by isotope dilution and of selenium isotope ratios in biological samples. The repeatability for total selenium and for stable isotope ratios was good (R.S.D.< or =10%) within the range of 50 to 250 ng selenium. The detection limit for the investigated selenium isotopes was approximately 1 pg (signal to noise ratio at 3). The applicability of the developed stable isotope methodology was demonstrated by the determination of the selenium absorption and retention from foods in a pilot study using one human adult.

Abstract
The use of two types of microwave oven, one domestic (A) and the other specially designed for laboratory (B) for microwave-based digestion, to destroy the organic matter in milk and infant formulas prior to fluorometric determination of selenium is studied in order to check their applicability and reliability. In both systems the best results were obtained using the acid mixture HNO3-H2O2, and additional treatment with perchloric acid (60%) in a Thermoblock. The application of two different microwave-based digestion procedures to infant formulas was free of interferences. In the case of human milk, it was necessary to use the standard addition method. Values obtained for detection and quantification limits, precision and accuracy of the fluorometric determination of selenium show the usefulness of both digestion procedures. The oven designed for laboratory use (B) is preferential as it permits simultaneous digestion of eight samples.

Abstract
Food samples and ready-made meals from the traditional Italian-type diet were analysed for selenium content. The average Se content varied in food samples from 7 micrograms/kg w/w (fresh fruit) to 226 micrograms/kg w/w (fish). The highest average contents were obtained in the animal products and in legumes. Among ready-made foods the animal derived dishes were the richest in Se, representing 78% of the estimated total daily dietary intake of Se. The average daily dietary intake of selenium for Italian people is estimated to be 50.9 +/- 29.8 micrograms Se/day when results obtained on complete meals are used, while it is 45.0 +/- 30.8 micrograms Se/day when results on foods and statistical data on consumption are used.

Abstract
A series of 20 mother-infant pairs were studied in Brisbane, Australia, at 6-12 weeks postpartum. The mean selenium concentration in maternal blood was 101 (SD +/- 19) ng/g and in maternal serum 81(+/- 15) ng/g; serum values appeared low in comparison with those reported for lactating women from Japan and the USA, but similar to those from Finland and from a previous Australian study. Breast milk selenium concentrations (11.9 +/- 3.5 ng/g) were also low by international standards, but not as low as in New Zealand or Scandinavia. There was no correlation between selenium concentrations in milk and blood (or serum). The infants' 24-h breast-milk intakes were 856 +/- 172 g, and their 24-h selenium intakes 10.7 +/- 4.1 micrograms (compared to the Australian RDI of 10 micrograms).
