Selenite shows only a mild effect on selenium or selenoprotein contents. (a) Total Se content in plasma, liver, kidneys, and WAT, expressed as percent increase relative to the HFD-fed group. (b) mRNA expression of selenoproteins in gWAT of male C57BL/6N mice fed either HFD or SRHFD for 10 weeks after established obesity. (c) Aggregated selenoprotein mRNA expression from (b). *: p < 0.05 after two-tailed Student’s t-test. #: p < 0.05 after two-way ANOVA. All data are presented as mean ± SEM.
