Selenium (Se) dependent enzymes play important roles in physiological functions such as thyroid hormone metabolism, strengthens anti-oxidant defense system and immune system. However, about 800 million people worldwide are believed to be deficient in Se which is attributed to low Se levels in the soil. This is because Se in plant and animal products in human diet depends upon the available Se in the soil. Deficiency of Se can be prevented or treated by adequate dietary intake or through direct supplementation. There have been reports that patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, HIV viral loads and cancer have responded to Se supplementation. However, food fortification has been found to be more efficient than supplementation. Both agronomic biofortification and genetic biofortification have been used to increase Se content of food crops and animal products. Genetic engineering makes use of key genes of Se hyperaccumulators to increase Se accumulating potential of food crops. Agronomic biofortification increases Se content of food crops by adding Se rich fertilizers to the soil or foliar application of Se. Selenium can also be added to animal diets or feedstuff to increase Se content of meat, eggs, and milk. Although inorganic forms of Se are approved as feed additives, they are less efficient than organic sources such as selenomethionine (SeMet) which is the dominant form in plants and animals. Animal products have been found to have higher Se content than plant products with fish having the highest Se content. Fruits and vegetables have a low content of Se probably because of their low protein content. Recommendations for dietary intake of Se vary with country, age and sex. There are concerns that the present recommended Se daily allowance may not be adequate due to discovery of other selenoenzymes with higher Se requirements than gluthathione peroxidase. There may be a need to review the current recommended daily allowance for Se in order to improve human health.

abstract = {Selenium (Se) dependent enzymes play important roles in physiological functions such as thyroid hormone metabolism, strengthens anti-oxidant defense system and immune system. However, about 800 million people worldwide are believed to be deficient in Se which is attributed to low Se levels in the soil. This is because Se in plant and animal products in human diet depends upon the available Se in the soil. Deficiency of Se can be prevented or treated by adequate dietary intake or through direct supplementation. There have been reports that patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, HIV viral loads and cancer have responded to Se supplementation. However, food fortification has been found to be more efficient than supplementation. Both agronomic biofortification and genetic biofortification have been used to increase Se content of food crops and animal products. Genetic engineering makes use of key genes of Se hyperaccumulators to increase Se accumulating potential of food crops. Agronomic biofortification increases Se content of food crops by adding Se rich fertilizers to the soil or foliar application of Se. Selenium can also be added to animal diets or feedstuff to increase Se content of meat, eggs, and milk. Although inorganic forms of Se are approved as feed additives, they are less efficient than organic sources such as selenomethionine (SeMet) which is the dominant form in plants and animals. Animal products have been found to have higher Se content than plant products with fish having the highest Se content. Fruits and vegetables have a low content of Se probably because of their low protein content. Recommendations for dietary intake of Se vary with country, age and sex. There are concerns that the present recommended Se daily allowance may not be adequate due to discovery of other selenoenzymes with higher Se requirements than gluthathione peroxidase. There may be a need to review the current recommended daily allowance for Se in order to improve human health.},
