Background: The child and adolescent obesity have become a major public health problem. Selenoprotien p1 (SEPP1) is widely acknowledged to be among the most delicate functional indicators of Se status and it plays a role in the metabolism of Se and in anti-oxidative defense. So, we aimed to assess Selenoprotein-p level in obese children and adolescents. Methods: This cross-sectional comparative work included 60 children: 30 obese children and the control group consisted of 30 children who were healthy and matched in terms of gender and age. A comprehensive taking of history and clinical assessment with anthropometric measurements were conducted on all children and adolescents. Basic investigations and serum selenoprotien-p1 level were performed. Results: Serum selenoprotien-p1 (SEPP1) levels were substantially decreased in obese children contrasted to controls. Conclusions: Selenoprotien p1 levels were substantially decreased in obese children and adolescent. Selenoprotien p1 could be a sensitive functional biomarker of selenium status.
