Effect of Selenium- and Glutathione-Enriched Yeast Supplementation on a Combined Atherosclerosis and Diabetes Hamster Model
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Selenium has a central role in antioxidant pathways as a cofactor to glutathione peroxidase. The present study evaluated the effects of four different preparations of inactivated yeast containing various concentrations of selenium and glutathione on a combined atherosclerosis and diabetes hamster model. The hamsters were supplemented with the yeast products for three months. The enriched yeast with the highest selenium and glutathione levels reduced the weight loss induced by diabetes, inhibited an increase in plasma cholesterol and triglyceride caused by a high-cholesterol and high-fat diet, increased the time taken for oxidation of lower density lipoproteins (lag time), and inhibited the formation of atherosclerosis better than low selenium/glutathione yeast supplementation. It was concluded that the yeast prepared to provide high selenium and high glutathione was the best for effecting beneficial changes in glutathione, cholesterol, atherosclerosis, and for demonstrating an antioxidant effect. The high selenium and low glutathione yeast was the best for improving selenium and glucose levels.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
