Selenium is an essential factor for glutathione peroxidase
(GSH-Px), an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen
peroxide and various organic peroxides, highly reactive
compounds that are products of normal metabolic and
detoxification processes. GSH-Px scavenges these free radicals
within the cells, in the cytosol and the mitochondrial matrix, to
prevent damage to the cell, the mitochondria, the microsome
and the lysosome membranes. GSH-Px functions in cooperation
with superoxide dismutase (SOD). GSH-Px also reduces the
production of inflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
Selenium deficiency results in cardiomyopathy. Free radical
damage is also known to be a major component in cataracts,
acne, periodontal disease and tendinitis and bursitis. It has been
theorized that selenium prevents damage to the inhibitors in
DNA that control the cells' tendency to multiply.
