Abstract

Selenium, an essential trace element for human health, exerts an indispensable effect in maintaining physiological homeostasis and functions in the body. Selenium deficiency is associated with arthropathies, such as Kashin-Beck disease, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis. Selenium deficiency mainly affects the normal physiological state of bone and cartilage through oxidative stress reaction and immune reaction. This review aims to explore the role of selenium deficiency and its mechanisms existed in the pathogenesis of arthropathies. Meanwhile, this review also summarized various experiments to highlight the crucial functions of selenium in maintaining the homeostasis of bone and cartilage.
