Evaluation of selenium effect in inflammatory response of obesity
Abstract
Introduction: Obesity is linked to a chronic and low intensity inflation with the release of numerous pro-inflammatory cytokines, thus inducing several pathologies. Selenium (Se) has been related to reducing the risk of chronic non-communicable diseases due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions. Objective: To evaluate the effect of selenium on the inflammatory response of obesity. Materials and Methods: cross-sectional, quantitative, and descriptive study of obese patients who arrived for outpatient care in a Basic Health Unit. Data were collected on anthropometric evaluation with the measurement of weight, height, waist circumference (WC) and waist-hip ratio (WHR). In addition, food intake was analyzed using the 24hrs recall (R24h), in order to determine the daily selenium intake. Results: 42 patients were evaluated. 47.62% were grade I obese, 33.33% were grade II obese and 19.05% were grade III obese. It was observed that the majority (88.1%) had a very increased risk of WC and that the WHR index was higher among men (87.5%). For the analysis of the consumption of Se it was found that 78.57% reached the daily recommendation, and that 21.43% did not reach the recommendation in addition, the level of obesity was lower in the group that consumed the highest amount of Se. Discuss: The prevalence of obesity has increased in the population being associated with the appearance of other comorbidities and selenium has important functions in the obesity process. Conclusion: Selenium can be directly linked to the obesity process and its comorbidities.
