Selenium, Seafoods and Health

Abstract

Selenium supports the functions of many systems such as endocrine, immune and cardiovascular systems. Like all trace minerals, it is essential for the proper functioning of the body. Selenium is a trace element that is important for human health but can also be harmful for humans when taken in excess. Selenium requirement is less than minerals that are required by the body in larger amounts, such as calcium and iron. Therefore, it is called a micronutrient. As with many other foods, the biological response to selenium varies by gender and age. People often take selenium with crops and animal products, and sometimes as functional foods or supplements. Selenium works synergistically with vitamin E. Seafood products have high selenium levels. Not only fish but also other shellfish products have an important place in daily food intake due to their minerals contain.

Selenyum, Su Ürünleri ve Sağlık

Abstract

Selenyum; endokrin, bağışıklık ve kardiyovasküler sistem gibi birçok sistemin işlevini destekler. Tüm eser mineraller gibi vücudun düzgün çalışması için gereklidir. Selenyum insan sağlığı için önemli olan ancak fazla alındığında insanlar için de zararlı olabilecek bir eser elementtir. Selenyum ihtiyacı, kalsiyum ve demir gibi vücuda daha çok miktarlarda gerekli olan minerallerden daha az seviyededir. Bu nedenle de bir mikro besin olarak adlandırılır. Diğer birçok besinde de olduğu gibi, selenyuma verilen biyolojik yanıt cinsiyete ve yaşa göre farklılık gösterir. İnsanlar genellikle selenyumu mahsul ve hayvansal ürünlerle ve bazen de fonksiyonel yiyecekler veya takviyeler olarak alırlar. Selenyum, E vitamini ile sinerjist olarak çalışır. Su ürünlerinin selenyum açısından zengin gıdalar arasında gelmektedir. Sadece balık değil kabuklu su ürünleri de içerdikleri minerallerden dolayı günlük besin alımında önemli bir yeri vardır.
