Bioactivity Analysis of Selenium-Rich Edible Fungi and Selenium-Rich Plants
Selenium is an important component of more than 30 selenoproteins and selenoenzymes,such as glutathione peroxidase,thioredoxin,and plays an important role in antioxidant and anticancer activities and improving human immunity.Selenium cannot be produced by human cells and must be ingested through diet.Eating selenium-rich agricultural products is considered to be the safest and most effective way to supplement selenium.Therefore,the absorption and transformation mechanism of selenium-rich foods was elaborated in this paper,and biological activities of selenium-rich edible fungi and selenium-rich plants were compared and analyzed,aiming to provide theoretical guidance for the comprehensive utilization of selenium-rich foods.
