Abstract:Selenium is known to produce great effect on the oxidative stress of cells, both systemic and cerebral. Brain degeneration occurs as a result of several factors, one of them is the oxidative stress. We aim To analyze selenium effect on rats’ brains, investigating serum and immunohistochemical oxidative stress markers, and the neural structural pattern. Selenium supplementation with 48 μg chelated selenium and with 96 μg chelated selenium for 60 days, followed by an evaluation of oxidative stress markers, as w… Show more
