Abstract excerpt
Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient that exerts an antioxidant role in the brain through selenoproteins; its dysregulation may be implicated in bipolar disorder (BD). This study investigates the association between Se status and BD risk, focusing on the impact of SNPs in glutathione peroxidases1 (GPX1) and selenoprotein P (SELENOP) on selenium metabolism and BD risk. A total of 32 patients with BD and 38...
