Selenium is a trace element of tremendous importance in human health. It is a constituent of the antioxidant enzyme. Glutathione peroxidase and therefore is vital to antioxidant defense. Several diseases of the neonate have been shown to be caused at least in part by oxygen free radicals. These include bronchopulmonary dysplasia retinopathy of prematurity necrotising enterocolitis patient ductus arteriosus and neuronal injury of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. Good selenium nutrition is therefore of key importance to antioxidant defense in the neonate. The communique reviews the important role that selenium might play in neonatal health & disease.
硒是一种对人类健康极为重要的微量元素。它是抗氧化酶谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶的组成成分，因此对抗氧化防御至关重要。已表明新生儿的几种疾病至少部分是由氧自由基引起的。这些疾病包括支气管肺发育不良、早产儿视网膜病变、坏死性小肠结肠炎、动脉导管未闭以及缺氧缺血性脑病的神经元损伤。因此，良好的硒营养对于新生儿的抗氧化防御至关重要。本公报综述了硒在新生儿健康与疾病中可能发挥的重要作用。
