Abstract：Selenium is a trace mineral that is essential for maintaining human health. Selenium is present in the body as selenoproteins, which are involved in antioxidant, anti-inflammatory process, and the production of active thyroid hormone synthesis. The imbalance of oxidative stress and the downregulation of immune function that results from a lack of selenoproteins in the body may contribute to the occurrence and progression of Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT). Selenium supplementation may aid in the prevention and treatment of HT. The study of the relationship between selenium insufficiency and HT, as well as the prevention and treatment of selenium deficiency, has begun to attract domestic and international attention. This article discusses recent developments in selenium and its use in combination with other drugs for the prevention and treatment of HT.
