• Abstract

  Inflammation and oxidative stress are processes that occur simultaneously in obesity and contribute to an increased synthesis of inflammatory mediators and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. The mineral selenium (Se), whose main food source is the Brazil nut (Bertholettia excelsa H.B.K), has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Considering the importance of inflammation in obe…

• Abstract

  Zinc deficiency is one of the most important epidemiological nutritional deficiencies having great impact on public health throughout the world. Approximately one third of the world population lives in countries with high rates of zinc deficiency. Several methods can be used to assess the nutritional status of zinc, emphasizing the evaluation of mineral in plasma and erythrocytes. However…

• Abstract

  BACKGROUND: Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for human health, exerting their functions in the form of the amino acid selenocysteine, the 21st amino acid. Because of their importance in biological systems, the intake of Se have been monitored in several countries, and millions of people around the world can have mineral deficiency. This possible deficiency that probably affects…

• Abstract

  BACKGROUND: Selenium (Se) is essential for human health, being inserted in 25 selenoproteins as the amino acid selenocysteine. Its most famous function is its antioxidant role, but Se is also related to improve immune function, reducing risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes mellitus type 2. Brazil nuts are known as the richest food source of Se, considered one of the most nu…
