Transcriptomic analysis reveals the effect of maternal selenium deficiency on placental transport, hormone synthesis, and immune response in mice.
To investigate the effects of maternal selenium deficiency on the functions of the placenta, we established a maternal selenium deficiency mice model fed with the selenium-deficient diet for 12 weeks before and during pregnancy.We then performed a transcriptome analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of the selenium-deficient and the control placentae.
