claimProtein-energy malnutrition (PEM) usually occurs in combination with deficiencies in essential micronutrients, specifically vitamin A, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin E, zinc, iron, copper, and selenium.

claimAdequate selenium intake is essential for a proper immune response because selenium is required for the function of selenoproteins, which are selenium-dependent enzymes.

claimMcKenzie RC, Beckett GJ, and Arthur JR studied the effects of selenium on immunity and aging.

claimSelenium plays a role in regulating the production of cytokines and eicosanoids that orchestrate the immune response.

claimArthur JR, McKenzie RC, and Beckett GJ published a study on selenium in the immune system in 2003.

measurementPlantago coronopus exhibited the highest ability to accumulate selenium among the tested wild herb microgreens, and the selenium-enriched microgreens showed the highest chlorophyll and flavonoid content.

claimThere is a strong correlation between the selenium concentration in the growth solution and the selenium accumulated in Portulaca oleracea microgreens, which may enable the cultivation of microgreens with targeted selenium content.

procedureIn a study of Portulaca oleracea microgreens, researchers investigated the relationship between nutrient solution selenium concentrations of 0, 1.5, 5, and 10 mg Se L−1 and the resulting selenium content in the microgreens.

claimSelenium (Se) biofortification of microgreens can increase their Se content and contribute to human dietary requirements.

procedureThe Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index (CDAI) is calculated by standardizing each of the six included dietary antioxidants (vitamins A, C, E, manganese, selenium, and zinc) by subtracting the sex-specific mean and dividing by the sex-specific standard deviation, then summing these values.

claimThe ELD-I dietary index showed significant differences of small magnitude for polyunsaturated fatty acids (ALA, DHA, and EPA+DHA), vitamins (A, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, B-6, D, and E), and minerals (iodine, magnesium, potassium, selenium, copper, and calcium).

claimThe Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index (CDAI) is a score designed to assess overall exposure to dietary antioxidants, specifically integrating vitamins A, C, and E, manganese, selenium, and zinc.

measurementThe WISH, PHDI, and ELD-I indices, which use quantitative scoring, were positively correlated with the adequacy of most nutrients, including polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins (e.g., A, thiamine, B-6, and E), and minerals (e.g., manganese, magnesium, copper, and selenium).
