Selenium bioaccesibility in Se-enriched Chlorela sorokiniana evaluated by in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of the selenized microalga was 81% (79% as SeMet). Mice supplemeted with Se-enriched C. sorokiniana presented increased Se concentration in kidney, reflecting a potencial mechanism of excretion by urine. In addition, selenium bioavailavility, which was in the range of 3–15% depending on the diet was 1.13-fold higher in mice fed with Se-enriched microalgae against the basal diet, but decreased with higher amounts of selenium. Regarding bioactivity (∑Se as selenoproteins in serum/total Se in serum = 76–85% depending on the diet), selenium and selenoproteins (SeP) increased in serum from animals fed high supplemental Se levels. These results showed that Se-enriched algae can be considered as an alternative selenized food for humans, due to their high Se bioavailability.}, organization = {This work has been supported by the projects CTM2015-67902-C2-1-P and PG2018-096608-B-C21 from the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness and P12-FQM-0442 and P09-FQM-04659 from the Regional Ministry of Economy, Innovation, Science and Employment (Andalusian Government, Spain).
