“…Many animal experiments and clinical studies had indicated that Se plays an important role in diverse physiologic actions [1,2]. The essentiality of Se depends on its role at the catalytic site of multiple selenoproteins [3].…”

“…Superoxide anion is dismutated by superoxide dismutase and as a result, hydrogen peroxide is produced, the latter, is converted to water by the anti-oxidative activity of glutathione peroxidase. Lower SOD and GPx activities have been reported in obese and overweight women and men with metabolic syndrome without diabetes compared to normal weight controls [32,33]. Furthermore, others have reported lower levels in patients with diabetes compared to non-diabetic control subjects, the magnitude of which was greater in the presence of obesity [34].…”

“…On the one hand, from the above-mentioned studies [5,[32][33][34], it is apparent that there is an increased oxidative stress in the presence of obesity as a result of diminished antioxidant enzyme activities. On the other hand, there is a paradox with the current study that women have increased GPx-3 activity even though they have an increase in central obesity.…”

“…22 In a study examining the association between Se status and metabolic risk factors in men with visceral obesity, Se was positively correlated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and fatty acid binding protein-4, (FABP4), while GPX3 activity was negatively correlated with FABP4. 23 In obese men who had at least one component of the metabolic syndrome (MS), GPX3 activity was positively correlated with HDL. These findings indicate that Se status is linked to metabolic risk factors only in particular groups of obese men with or without MS. 22 This partially accords with recent animal studies suggesting a risk that long-term high Se intake could induce insulin resistance and T2DM.…”
