Scientists in Spain conducted a study and found that the trace element selenium reduces the impact of the polluted environment on the human body.
The scientists’ research was published in Science Direct.
Scientists from the University of Huelva and the University of Córdoba tested the effects of arsenic, mercury, cadmium, as well as the drugs diclofenac and flumequine on liver proteins in mice. It has been proven that the mixture of these substances increases the negative impact on the body, causing the destruction of many proteins.
Scientists gave a group of mice selenium, known for its antioxidant properties, and found that it reduced the negative effects of heavy metals on the body.
The scientists’ discovery will contribute to the development of protective measures to reduce the impact of the polluted environment on the body.
