The Amazon riverside population is unique, considering its geographic location, culture, and lifestyle. Another specific characteristic of this population is the high selenium (Se) and other compounds concentration in blood, such as methylmercury (MeHg), without signs and symptoms of intoxication. Some previous studies formulated hypotheses about the mechanisms associated with the absence…
Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element that plays an antioxidant role mediated by selenoproteins, acting in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and Cancer, in addition to supporting the immune system. Due to its importance for biological functions, monitoring Se concentrations is relevant, especially for patients in vulnerable health conditions. In this sense, individuals with …
Introduction: Statins inhibit the first steps of cholesterol biosynthesis in the Mevalonate pathway. This pathway is also important for the maturation of selenocysteine tRNA (Sec tRNA), responsible for the expression of all selenoproteins, and when inhibited results in decreased availability of selenoproteins. The decrease in selenoproteins has been associated with side effects related to…
Introduction: Among the many factors that impact the progress of a disease are feeding and nutritional status. Impairment of macro and micronutrients may have an impact on immunity that modifies the course of chronic/infection long-term disease. In the pathogenesis of AIDS, a selenium deficient state may contribute to the progress of HIV infection, and as the beneficial effects of seleniu…

Genetic variants related to selenium (Se) metabolism can directly influence the individual's blood levels, increasing the risk of developing diseases related to its deficiency. Thus, estimating the probabilistic susceptibility of an individual to Se deficiency, considering their genetic profile - polygenic risk score (PRS) - has shown to be an important tool in clinical management, aiming…
Statins inhibit the first steps of cholesterol biosynthesis in the mevalonate pathway. This pathway is also important for the maturation of selenocysteine tRNA (Sec tRNA), responsible for the expression of all selenoproteins, and, when inhibited, results in decreased availability of selenoproteins.

Introduction: Selenium (Se), an essencial nutritional oligoelement, is largely used to produce the unique amino acid selenocysteine (Sec), which is cotranslationally incorporated into selenoproteins. Se for Sec biosynthesis is thought to derive either from diet or via selenium recycling after selenoprotein degradation. Selenocysteine lyase (Sec lyase or Scly) is responsible for cellular s…
