Abstract

High Selenium Yeast (SeY) serves many important roles with respect to the maintenance of normal nervous system functioning. Studies have reported the nerve inflammation induced by Aluminum (Al) was associated with the increase of mortality. However, in-depth studies are required to verify the hypothesized neuro-protective efficacy of SeY against Al-induced cerebral damage through modulation of the inflammatory response. Here, mice were treated with SeY (0.1 mg/kg) and/or Al (10 mg/kg) by oral gavage for 28 days. Inflammation was assessed by histopathological examination and expression of biomarkers for inflammation. Furthermore, the oxidation-reduction levels and the NO production were assessed using diagnostic kits and RT-PCR. The data indicated that SeY significantly protected cerebrum against Al-induced pathological changes, in addition to the disordered expression of biomarkers of inflammation, the imbalance of oxidation-reduction, and the increase of NO production. Therefore, the chemoprotective potential of SeY against Al-induced cerebral inflammation via restore the levels of oxidation-reduction and the generation of NO was demonstrated.
