[Methods] Four kinds of crops (tomato, leaf mustard, peanut, and carrot) were exogenous selenium fertilizer treated, to explore the selenium-enriching effects on these crops. [Results] Exogenous application of microbial nano-selenium can significantly increase the selenium content of the crops, of which the effects on big tomato (Weiyanuo) were the best. After spraying, the selenium content increased by 1.39 times, and at the same time the sugar content of tomato was also increased. [Conclusions] This study is expected to provide references for increase of the selenium content of agricultural products.展开更多

Cypermethrin produces oxidative stress and enhances inflammatory damage of liver. The present study was designed to investigate the ameliorating effects of NSe against Cym-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. For this purpose, twenty four male rats were divided into three groups. Group (I) was gavaged with Cym (control group), group (II) gavaged daily with Cym (1 mg/kg body weight), and group (III) gavaged with Cym + NSe (2.5 mg kg body weight/day, three times a week) for 21 days. Cypermethrin increased serum liver enzymes, oxidative stress and inflammatory markers. Administration of NSe significantly reduced the increased serum liver enzymes and inflammatory parameters and restored the antioxidant capacity in liver. Our results suggest that Nse exhibits promising hepato-protective effects against Cym-induced oxidative damage and inflammation.展开更多
