Abstract
Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient with multiple and complex effects on human health, including potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its most severe complications are the leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide. Considering the fact that oxidative stress and inflammation are central to CVDs, this review focuses on different cardioprotective characteristics of Se with a special focus on molecular mechanisms. In this review, several databases, websites, and search engines, including Medline, PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, were searched using MeSH keywords of Se, Se compounds, CVD, oxidative stress, inflammation, coronary artery disease, and signaling pathway. The present study thoroughly explains the molecular pathways by which Se carries out its function to decrease cardiovascular and related diseases.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Basic and Clinical Physiology and Pharmacology (JBCPP) is a peer-reviewed bi-monthly published journal in experimental medicine. JBCPP publishes novel research in the physiological and pharmacological sciences, including brain research; cardiovascular-pulmonary interactions; exercise; thermal control; haematology; immune response; inflammation; metabolism; oxidative stress; and phytotherapy. As the borders between physiology, pharmacology and biochemistry become increasingly blurred, we also welcome papers using cutting-edge techniques in cellular and/or molecular biology to link descriptive or behavioral studies with cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the integrative processes. Topics: Behavior and Neuroprotection, Reproduction, Genotoxicity and Cytotoxicity, Vascular Conditions, Cardiovascular Function, Cardiovascular-Pulmonary Interactions, Oxidative Stress, Metabolism, Immune Response, Hematological Profile, Inflammation, Infection, Phytotherapy.
