Selenium, an essential trace element for human health, exerts an indispensable effect in maintaining physiological homeostasis and functions in the body. Selenium deficiency is associated with arthropathies, such as Kashin-Beck disease, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis. Selenium deficiency mainly affects the normal physiological state of bone and cartilage through oxidative stress reaction and immune reaction. This review aims to explore the role of selenium deficiency and its mechanisms existed in the pathogenesis of arthropathies. Meanwhile, this review also summarized various experiments to highlight the crucial functions of selenium in maintaining the homeostasis of bone and cartilage.
硒是人体健康所必需的微量元素,在维持生理内环境平衡和发挥体内功能方面具有不可或缺的作用。硒缺乏与关节炎有关,如大骨节病、类风湿关节炎、骨关节炎和骨质疏松症。硒缺乏主要通过氧化应激反应和免疫反应影响骨和软骨的正常生理状态。本文旨在探讨硒缺乏在关节炎发病机制中的作用及其机制。同时,本文还总结了各种实验,强调了硒在维持骨和软骨内环境平衡方面的重要作用。
