Selenium Deficiency and Keshan Disease Mechanism and Management
Abstract
Selenium (Se) is a trace element for humans. It has important functions for the body, primarily to play a role in anti-oxidant
reactions. In addition to its antioxidant effects, Se is known to be necessary for thyroid hormone metabolism and the healthy
functioning of the immune system. Se deficiency disrupts many metabolic systems and causes diseases that can be mortal.
in general.Infertility, susceptibility to viral infections, myodegenerative, and cardiovascular events may occur. The most lethal of these
is the fatal cardiomyopathy known as Keshan Disease (KD). In this article, we will discuss the mechanism of development
of KD, which stands out with the diseases and mortality seen in selenium deficiency, and the management of Se deficiency
