Protective Effects of Inorganic and Organic Selenium on Heat Stress in Bovine Mammary Epithelial Cells

Figure 3

Selenite methionine (SM) and sodium selenite (SS) pretreatments alleviated the increase in mRNA abundance of heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) and heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) induced by high-temperature shock in MAC-T cells. MAC-T cells were pretreated with (+) or without (-) 10 μM SM or 1 μM SS for 2 h, followed by 42.5°C treatment for 1 h (heat treatment, HT) and recovery at 37°C for 12 h. Values without a common letter are different ().
