“…TrxR and GPx are well characterized as major components of the antioxidant defense, with roles in many cellular processes. It was reported that Se-enriched JRS influenced GPx and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activities in the livers, kidneys and lungs of rats in an organspecific manner (Hama et al, 2008). A similar trend of GPx and GST activities which are directly associated with the immune system might be functional in the present study.…”

:Immune response and yolk cholesterol are crucial factors for commercial chicken producers. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of selenium-enriched Japanese radish sprouts (Se-enriched JRS) and R. capsulatus synergistically on immune response and cholesterol in laying hens. A total of 50 laying hens (20-wk old) were assigned to 5 dietary treatment groups, and fed diets supplemented with 2.5 μg/kg, 5 μg/kg, 10 μg/kg Se-enriched JRS and 5 μg/kg Se-enriched JRS+R. capsulatus (0.02%). Egg production and yolk color were significantly improved by the supplementation of Se-enriched JRS+R. capsulatus in the layer diet (p<0.05). Compared to the control, serum cholesterol concentration and triglyceride levels were decreased by all the treatments (p<0.05). After 8-wk of the experiment, supplementation of 5 μg/kg, 10 μg/kg and Se-enriched JRS+R. capsulatus significantly reduced yolk cholesterol and triglycerides, while the greatest reduction was observed when R. capsulatus was incorporated with Se-enriched JRS. Spleen, bursa and thymus weight were significantly increased by both the 5 μg/kg and 10 μg/kg Se-enriched JRS. Compared to the control, supplementation of 5 μg/kg and 10 μg/kg Se-enriched JRS significantly increased serum IgG and yolk IgY concentration and foot web index activity by Newcastle Disease Virus (p<0.05). After 4-wk and 8-wk of supplementation, the highest number of leukocytes was observed with Se-enriched JRS+R. capsulatus (p<0.05). The highest concentration of serum and yolk Se was found in Se-enriched JRS plus R. capsulatus treatment. Combined dietary supplementation of Se-enriched JRS and R. capsulatus might be beneficial for better health, disease protection and overall production performance.

“…Allium and Brassica species seem to be good sources. Several studies proved that in this selenised vegetables the main selenium forms are Se-methylselenocysteine and derivates which are known as very effective forms for health protection (Ip et al, 2000;Hama et al, 2008;Abdulah et al, 2009).…”

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for humans and animals. To consumption of selenium could be good sources the vegetables. Many of them are able to convert the inorganic selenium forms to organic forms, which are more effective for health. To enrich onion with selenium is known however some unclear points are remained. A closed fortification system was conducted to compare the difference of selenium tolerance in two onion cultivars in greenhouse environment. This system was well controlled, eliminating a lot of disturbing factors. The comparative analysis of Makói bronz and Makói lila spring onoins showed that there is difference in selenium tolerance and accumulation not only between plant species but inside it between the different cultivars, too. The Makói bronz seemed to more sensitive to the selenate treatment than Makói lila.

“…Yoshida et al (2007) showed that the availability of selenium in the radish sprout ranged between 33 and 65 %.When the amount of selenium was increased to 2 µg/g both the selenite form and selenium taken in with the radish sprout prevented the tumour cells from growing. Hama et al (2008) examined that Japanese radish sprout on the oxidative stress of female rats, the selenium diet of 12.5 mg/kg reduced the increase of the body mass but increased the mass of the liver.30 ml of freshly squeezed wheatgrass juice is equivalent in nutritional value to 1kg of leafy green vegetables. Wheatgrass has quickly become "the new age espresso" offered in smoothies and juices, salads and even in tablets and powders and is one of the cereal grasses mostly used as a health drink (Ben-Arye et al 2002).…”

Wheatgrass juice is the young grass of the common wheat plant (Triticum aestivum) freshly juiced for human consumption. The objective of the investigation performed was to assess the nutritional value of wheatgrass juice under laboratory and open field conditions at two different cuts. Protein, chlorophyll contents, minerals content (Ca, Fe, Mg, Zn and Se) and amino acids content as well as phytochemical constituents were determined. Grown wheatgrass at laboratory caused an increase of the protein content of its juice over open field condition. High chlorophyll content was observed under open field especially at second cut. Most of minerals content underwent to increase under open field except Mg content. Aspartic acid was recorded the highest amino acid in both laboratory and open field. Total essential amino acids were increased under open field condition at both first and second cut followed by first cut at laboratory. No big changes of natural phytochemicals constituents can shown between laboratory and open field condition while it was more pronounced compare with wheat seeds. The study suggested that sprouting wheat seeds at laboratory and open field improve the nutritional value of grass juice with preferably to laboratory condition especially at first cut and for saving agricultural land.
