Dose and food matrix effects on selenium retention in mouse tissues from selenium-rich vegetables and rice: Implications for selenium bioavailability

Key Points

• Selenium retention can be significantly affected by the food matrix and the dosage of selenium intake, impacting tissue levels.
• Notably, specific diets containing selenium-rich vegetables and rice exhibited varying rates of retention in mouse tissues.
• This observational analysis examined how different food matrices influence selenium absorption in mice over a defined period.
• These findings highlight the importance of food selection in optimizing selenium bioavailability for health benefits.
