Popis: BACKGROUND Hypermetabolic state in hyperthyroidism causes oxidative stress. Erythrocytes are the cells that are involved in oxidant equilibrium in an organism and contain microRNA (miRNA). Selenium, which is an essential element for an organism, has antioxidant properties. The present study was aimed at investigating the effects of selenium supplementation in hyperthyroidism, on pro- and antioxidant enzymes, and miRNA (miR-144 and miR-451) expressions in the erythrocytes. METHODS Forty-eight Sprague-Dawley male rats were divided into 6 groups; control group, group fed with 0.5 mg/kg sodium selenite; group fed with 1 mg/kg sodium selenite; hyperthyroid group; hyperthyroid group fed with 0.5 mg/kg sodium selenite; and hyperthyroid group fed with 1 mg/kg sodium selenite. Malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), miR-144, and miR-451 expression levels were studied in erythrocyte hemolysates. RESULTS MDA levels were increased in the hyperthyroid group compared to the control group, and the group fed with 0.5 mg/kg sodium selenite (P
