Impact of selenium on biomarkers and clinical aspects related to ageing. A review
Alehagen, Urban; Opstad, Trine B.; Alexander, Jan; Larsson, Anders; Aaseth, Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Selenium (Se) is an essential dietary trace element that plays an important role in the prevention of inflammation, cardiovascular diseases, infections, and cancer. Selenoproteins contain selenocysteine in the active center ... -
Improved cardiovascular health by supplementation with selenium and coenzyme Q10: applying structural equation modelling (SEM) to clinical outcomes and biomarkers to explore underlying mechanisms in a prospective randomized double-blind placebo-controlled intervention project in Sweden
Alehagen, Urban; Johansson, Peter; Svensson, Erland; Aaseth, Jan; Alexander, Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Purpose Selenium and coenzyme Q10 have synergistic antioxidant functions. In a four-year supplemental trial in elderly Swedes with a low selenium status, we found improved cardiac function, less cardiac wall tension and ... -
Increase in insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1 after supplementation with selenium and coenzyme Q10. A prospective randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial among elderly Swedish citizens
Alehagen, Urban; Johansson, Peter; Aaseth, Jan; Alexander, Jan; Brismar, Kerstin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017) -
Levels of sP-selectin and hs-CRP Decrease with Dietary Intervention with Selenium and Coenzyme Q10 Combined: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial
Alehagen, Urban; Lindahl, Tomas L.; Aaseth, Jan; Svensson, Erland; Johansson, Peter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-16)Background/Objectives Inflammation and oxidative stress are central in many disease states.

Reduced Cardiovascular Mortality 10 Years after Supplementation with Selenium and Coenzyme Q10 for Four Years: Follow-Up Results of a Prospective Randomized DoubleBlind Placebo-Controlled Trial in Elderly Citizens
Alehagen, Urban; Aaseth, Jan; Johansson, Peter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)BACKGROUND: Selenium and coenzyme Q10 are important antioxidants in the body. As the intake of selenium is low in Europe, and the endogenous production of coenzyme Q10 decreases as age increases, an intervention trial using ... -
Selenium and Coenzyme Q<inf>10</inf> Intervention Prevents Telomere Attrition, with Association to Reduced Cardiovascular Mortality-Sub-Study of a Randomized Clinical Trial
Opstad, Trine Baur; Alexander, Jan; Aaseth, Jan; Larsson, Anders; Seljeflot, Ingebjørg; Alehagen, Urban (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Short telomeres have been associated with ageing and cardiovascular disease.
