Cardiovascular diseases are a rampant public health threat. Environmental contaminants, such as Cadmium (Cd), toxic metal, risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Given that human exposure to Cd is increasing, there need therapies ameliorate toxicity. Selenium (Se), an essential trace element, has been proposed rescue the effects of toxicity, with mixed effects. Se's narrow therapeutic window necessitates precise dosing avoid Here, we assessed various waterborne and Se concentrations sequences on cardiac function using zebrafish (Danio rerio). We showed induced pericardial edemas modified heart rates in larvae concentration-dependent manner. To identify range Cd-induced cardiotoxicity, embryos were treated 0, 10, 50, 100, 150, or 200 μg/L 1-4 days prior 2.5 5 Cd. found 50 µg/L pre-treatment before Cd, but not reduced prevalence ameliorated bradycardia zebrafish. Zebrafish exposed 10 up 4 typical morphology, whereas other Se-exposed control fish presented edemas. Longer durations led fewer incidences Overall, this study highlights importance optimizing periods harness its protective against cardiotoxicity. These findings provide insights into potential strategies reducing Cd-related damage humans.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease affecting the brain and spinal cord motor neurons. On 25 April 2023, drug tofersen, an antisense oligonucleotide, received US Food Drug Administration approval for treating ALS in adults carrying mutations of SOD1 gene. We aimed at assessing whether cerebrospinal fluid concentrations selenium, element both toxicological nutritional interest possibly involved etiology progression, are modified by tofersen administration. determined selenium species anion exchange chromatography hyphenated to inductively coupled plasma-dynamic reaction cell-mass spectrometry overall using plasma sector-field mass spectrometry, baseline 6 months after active treatment ten Italian patients gene mutation. Concentrations total many substantially increased intervention, particularly inorganic (tetravalent hexavalent) organic selenomethionine compound co-eluting with selenocystine standard. Overall, these findings suggest that markedly alters status probably redox within central nervous system, due direct effect on neurons and/or blood-brain barrier. Further studies required investigate biological clinical relevance how they might relate pharmacological effects progression.

ABSTRACT Our previous research reported the influence of 50 μM selenium (Se) on cytosolization (endocytosis) pathway, which in turn stimulates growth and development Bombyx mori . Lately, dynamin is recognized as one key proteins endocytosis. To explore underlying mechanisms Se impact, gene was knocked down by injecting siRNAs ( Dynamin‐1 , Dynamin‐2 Dynamin‐3 ). This followed an analysis target levels silk protein genes, well developmental indices, Se‐enrichment capacity, degree oxidative damage, antioxidant capacity B. findings showed a considerable decrease relative expression all tissues 24 h after interference dramatic silkworm body 48 h. RNAi decreased weight, cocoon shell ratio cocoon. In meantime, malondialdehyde level increased glutathione superoxide dismutase/catalase activities decreased. markedly ameliorated these physiological deficits decreases expression. On other hand, there were no significant effects fertility (including produced eggs laid eggs) between treatments. Additionally, content interference. The highly expressed gland declined significantly Among three ), dynamin‐2 displayed highest to results demonstrated that effective prevent any adverse caused knockdown silkworms. provides practical implications for B breeding industry.
