A reliable biomarker for optimal selenium (Se) intake in lactating women is not currently available.
Daily dietary Se intake in lactating women was calculated from a 24-hour meal record survey for over 3 days. Se levels in plasma and breast milk were measured through inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Plasma selenoprotein P 1 levels and glutathione peroxidase 3 activity were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to analyze proteinaceous Se species in enzymatically digested breast milk.
Dietary Se intakes of lactating women from Liangshan, Beijing, and Enshi were 41.6±21.2 ng/d, 51.1±22.6 ng/d, and 615±178 ng/d, respectively (p<0.05). The Se levels in the blood and breast milk were significantly associated with the dietary Se intake (p<0.05). The proteinaceous Se species in breast milk were SeMet and SeCys2. The levels of SeMet in the lactating women from Liangshan, Beijing, and Enshi were 3.31±2.44 ng Se/mL, 7.34±3.70 ng Se/mL, and 8.99±9.64 ng Se/mL, while that of SeCys2 were 13.7±12.0 ng Se/mL, 35.6±20.9 ng Se/mL, and 57.4±13.2 ng Se/mL, respectively. Notably, the concentration of SeCys2, the metabolite of unstable SeCys, reached a saturation platform, whereas no similar phenomenon were found for the total Se SeMet from Secontaining proteins.
SeCys2 in breast milk is a potential biomarker for determining the optimal Se intake in lactating women.
目前尚无可靠的生物标志物用于确定哺乳期妇女的最佳硒(Se)摄入量。
通过连续3天以上的24小时膳食记录调查计算哺乳期妇女的每日膳食硒摄入量。采用电感耦合等离子体质谱法测定血浆和母乳中的硒水平。使用酶联免疫吸附测定法测量血浆硒蛋白P1水平和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶3活性。采用超高效液相色谱-串联质谱法分析酶解母乳中的蛋白质硒种类。
凉山、北京和恩施哺乳期妇女的膳食硒摄入量分别为41.6±21.2 ng/d、51.1±22.6 ng/d和615±178 ng/d(p<0.05)。血液和母乳中的硒水平与膳食硒摄入量显著相关(p<0.05)。母乳中的蛋白质硒种类为硒代蛋氨酸(SeMet)和硒代半胱氨酸(SeCys2)。凉山、北京和恩施哺乳期妇女的SeMet水平分别为3.31±2.44 ng Se/mL、7.34±3.70 ng Se/mL和8.99±9.64 ng Se/mL,而SeCys2的水平分别为13.7±12.0 ng Se/mL、35.6±20.9 ng Se/mL和57.4±13.2 ng Se/mL。值得注意的是,不稳定硒代半胱氨酸的代谢产物SeCys2的浓度达到了饱和平台,而含硒蛋白质中的总硒SeMet未发现类似现象。
母乳中的SeCys2是确定哺乳期妇女最佳硒摄入量的潜在生物标志物。
