Abstract:
Selenium is a major antioxidant in the form of selenoproteins to mitigate the cytotoxic effects ofreactive oxygen species [1-2). Also selenium an essential trace element, is vital for human normaldevelopment, growth, and thyroid hormone metabolism, and immune function [3]. A number ofstudies have been reported on selenium level [4-8]. Selenium concentration in the biological fluidsvaries considerably inside the global population, and normal ranges for typical population aredifferent [9].Selenium levels in the serum of populations throughout the world vary from 41.7 μg/l In Finland to158.2 μg/l in Canada [10,11] reflect the profound influence of the natural environment on the seleniumcontents of soils, crops, and human tissues (11, 31). In some regions of the world such as Finland,New Zealand, the East coast of the United Stated America and China the content of Selenum insoil is remarkably low [12]. Thus, this article aimed to reviwer on serum selenium concentration inpopulation in some countries.
