Selenium (Se), a component of selenoproteins and selenocompounds in the human body, is crucial for development male reproductive organs, DNA synthesis, thyroid hormone, metabolism, defence against infections oxidative damage. In testis, it must exceed desirable level since either shortage or an overabundance causes aberrant growth. The antioxidant properties selenium are essential preserving health. Selenoproteins, which have important structural enzymatic properties, control biological activities Se primarily. These proteins specifically role metabolism variety cellular processes, such as transport, hormone immunity, redox balance. nanoparticles (SeNPs) less hazardous than selenium-based inorganic organic materials. Upon being functionalized with active targeting ligands, they both biocompatible capable efficiently delivering combinations payloads to particular cells. this review, we discuss briefly chemistry, structure functions milestones selenoproteins. Next various factors influences infertility, selenoproteins, spermatogenesis fertility. Furthermore, molecular mechanism transport protective effects on stress, apoptosis inflammation. We also highlight critical contribution fertility spermatogenesis. Finally ends conclusion future perspectives.

Drought stress poses a significant obstacle to agricultural productivity, particularly in the case of oilseed crops such as sunflower ( Helianthus annuus L.). Selenium (Se) is fundamental micronutrient that has been recognized for its ability enhance plant resilience face various environmental stresses. The FH-770 variety was cultivated pots subjected three levels (100% FC, 75% and 50% FC) four Se application rates (0 ppm, 30 60 90 ppm). This research aimed investigate effect exogenously applied on morpho-physiological biochemical attributes improve drought tolerance. Foliar significantly lowered H 2 O (hydrogen peroxide; ROS) (20.89%) accumulation markedly improved glycine betaine (GB) (74.46%) total soluble protein (Pro) (68.63%), ascorbic acid (AA) (25.51%), phenolics (TP) (39.34%), flavonoids (Flv) (73.16%), anthocyanin (Ant) (83.73%), activity antioxidant system superoxide dismutase (SOD) (157.63%), peroxidase (POD) (100.20%), catalase (CAT) (49.87%), which ultimately growth by 36.65% during stress. Supplemental increased shoot content (93.86%) calcium (Ca 2+ ), potassium (K + sodium (Na ) ions roots 36.16%, 42.68%, 63.40%, respectively. supplements at lower concentrations (60 ppm) promoted growth, development, sunflowers controlled water-deficient circumstances. However, selenium treatment photosynthetic efficiency, enzymatic activities, osmoregulation, characteristics, nutrient balance. mechanisms molecular processes through induces these modifications need further investigation be properly identified.

Discovered in mid-1817 by Jöns Jacob Berzelius, selenium, belonging to Group 16 of the periodic table is an essential trace element for human and animal health, due its biocompatibility bioavailability. Additionally, it known having different oxidation states, which allows interact with distinct chemical elements form various compounds. Selenium exhibits two forms, organic inorganic; latter genotoxicity. nanoparticles have been investigated as alternative mitigate toxicity this element. With antidiabetic, antiviral, chemopreventive, antimicrobial properties, SeNPs possess significant biomedical potential can be synthesized using chemical, physical, or green methods, offering new solutions combating microbial resistance other diseases. This review discusses historical discovery preparation versatility combinations synthesis, morphological characteristics, sizes, well impact SeNP applications obtained through approaches against medically relevant microorganisms, particularly those exhibiting conventional antimicrobials.

Topical cariostatic agents have become a reasonable alternative for managing dental caries in young children. Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is practical topical approach to arrest and avoid extensive risky treatment. However, the literature demonstrates parental hesitation towards accepting SDF because of black unaesthetic tooth discolouration following application. The rapid oxidation ionic silver darkens demineralised structure permanently. In this regard, nano-metallic antimicrobials could augment or substitute silver, thereby enhance aesthetic performance. Recently, biomedical research has drawn attention selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) due their antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiviral potencies. Various vitro studies examined effect SeNPs on virulence bacteria. This narrative review explores issues when using suggests future directions develop it, focusing antimicrobial metals. Several methods are described that be followed reduce concern, including use fluoride, other metals with actions.
