(Submitter supplied) Protein and mRNA levels for several selenoproteins, such as glutathione peroxidase-1 (Gpx1), are down-regulated dramatically by selenium (Se) deficiency. Selenoprotein levels in rats increase sigmoidally with increasing dietary Se and reach defined plateaus at the Se requirement, making them sensitive biomarkers for Se deficiency, but not high for Se status. Biomarkers for high Se status are needed as super-nutritional Se intakes are associated with beneficial and adverse health outcomes, but conventional biomarkers are not especially useful above the Se requirement.
