This study found that an Enterobacter isolate demonstrated high resistance to selenate and effective sorption capacity, suggesting potential for bioremediation of selenium-contaminated environments.

This article discusses the dual nature of selenium, highlighting its essential metabolic roles and potential toxicity at high doses, and reports no new experimental findings.

In this case report, a 27-year-old woman experienced severe multisystem toxicity, including toxic encephalopathy, vision, and hearing loss, after ingesting selenium at occupationally high doses, suggesting such exposure can lead to previously unreported effects of vision and hearing impairment.

In this study of White cashmere goat ewes and their offspring in Tibet, selenium and vitamin E supplementation improved antioxidant capacity and serum biochemical indices and enhanced secondary hair follicle development in lambs, but did not significantly alter fecal microbiota composition.

In this study, researchers highlight the importance of correcting selenium and zinc deficiencies as part of a comprehensive management strategy for patients with autoimmune thyroiditis complicated by alopecia, as these elements play key roles in thyroid hormone biosynthesis and hair follicle function.

In this investigation, acute alopecia was linked to selenium-contaminated wheat in rural Maharashtra, India, following reports of sudden hair loss in 18 villages, with evaluations conducted in Machindrakhed and Bhondgaon.

This research highlights selenium's critical roles in various biological processes and underscores the potential health impacts of both its deficiency and excess, including increased mortality risk, poor immune function, and neurological issues.

In this study, women with acute telogen effluvium taking the Hair’InsideTM supplement for 84 days showed significant improvements in hair regrowth, shedding, brightness, and volume compared to placebo, with no reported adverse effects.

This review investigates how selenium, a trace element found in wheat, may impact hair health by examining its biochemical role in hair follicle biology and its potential therapeutic and toxicological effects.

This study investigates differences in nutritional status, vitamin, and mineral levels between individuals with telogen effluvium and a control group, aiming to understand the nutritional factors involved in this condition.

In this randomized trial, lupus patients taking daily 200 μg selenium supplements for eight weeks showed significant improvements in metabolic markers like CRP, ESR, MDA, and GPX, as well as reduced clinical symptoms such as arthritis and alopecia, compared to those receiving a placebo.

Selenium levels in soil, crops, and human hair in Northwest China are within safe limits.

People in Moldova have less selenium in their hair than recommended, which may contribute to hair loss.

The researchers reported that an oral supplement containing hydrolysed fish-origin collagen, taurine, cysteine, methionine, iron, and selenium significantly improved the effectiveness of anti-hair loss treatments in people with androgenic alopecia or chronic telogen effluvium after 12 weeks, compared to drug treatments alone.

This study found that using Urtica cannabina extract shampoo led to increased levels of copper, zinc, and iodine in the scalp hair of Mongolian women, along with improvements in hair growth, diameter, and density compared to a regular shampoo.

Selenium helps prevent thyroid issues and cognitive decline in the elderly, but balance is key.

This review paper examined recent research on the biofortification of horticultural plants, such as fruits and vegetables, with selenium, highlighting their role in addressing selenium deficiencies and supporting various biological functions crucial to human health.

This study found that four bacterial isolates from a microbiology laboratory collection demonstrated resistance to selenate, with molecular analysis showing they closely resemble different strains of Bacillus megaterium.

The levels of zinc, vitamin D, ferritin, and selenium are different in people with androgenic alopecia compared to a control group.

This study provides evidence supporting the theory that the presence of selenocysteine in proteins, such as thioredoxin reductase, may confer chemical reversibility, which contributes to their oxidative resistance and potential catalytic functions.

This study suggests that selenium deprivation in mice accelerates age-related degeneration but paradoxically promotes longevity, potentially decoupling healthspan from lifespan.

This study suggests that selenium deficiency accelerates aging-related health deterioration in mice with short telomeres, providing a model for exploring selenium’s role in human aging.

This study found that urinary and serum selenium levels were the most sensitive biomarkers for selenium intake in adult dogs, with serum GPx responding more quickly than whole blood GPx.

This study found that in visceral-obese Korean adults, hair chromium and selenium levels were inversely associated with insulin resistance, while copper levels showed a positive association.

This study suggests that selenium deficiency contributes to aging signs and health deterioration in a mouse model, supporting selenium's role in genome maintenance and protection against oxidative stress.

This article provides an overview of various selenium-based products, their uses in treating conditions from cancer to dandruff, and lists potential adverse effects and interactions, but reports no new results.

In a study on mice, the addition of 100 µM zinc to green papaya extract significantly improved wound healing and hair regrowth compared to other treatments, without causing inflammation.

In this study, researchers observed that sodium selenite may counteract the pro-apoptotic effects of sodium fluoride on human scalp hair follicle cells in vitro.

In this study, sodium fluoride at certain concentrations increased the MDA levels in cultured human hair follicles, while 0.01 mmol/L sodium selenite reduced this effect at lower fluoride concentrations.

This study found that sodium fluoride concentrations inhibited the growth of human hair follicles in vitro, while sodium selenite at a specific concentration mitigated its toxicity.
