Antagonistic effect of selenium on lead-induced inflammatory injury through inhibiting the nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway and stimulating selenoproteins in chicken hearts

Abstract

In the chicken model of Pb and Se, Se alleviated Pb-induced the changes of inflammatory factors, selenoproteins, and histology. Se alleviated Pb-induced inflammatory injury through inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway and stimulating selenoproteins in the chicken hearts.
