The present invention relates to compositions and methods for altering cell function. In particular, the present invention provides compositions comprising selenium (e.g., SEL-PLEX) and methods of using the same (e.g., as a therapeutic and/or prophylactic treatment for neurodegenerative disease). Additionally, the present invention demonstrates that specific forms of selenium (e.g., SEL-PLEX) possess the ability to alter expression of genes associated with disease and/or aging while other forms of selenium (e.g., selenomethionine) do not.

Use of selenium compounds, especially selenium yeasts for altering cognitive function

Methods and compositions for altering cell function

Compositions comprising selenium (e.g., organic selenium (e.g., selenized yeast (e.g., SEL-PLEX))) and methods of using the same (e.g., as a therapeutic and/or prophylactic treatment) are provided. For example, compositions comprising selenium (e.g., organic selenium (e.g., selenized yeast (e.g., SEL-PLEX))) and methods of using the same are provided for treating and/or preventing one or more conditions (e.g., problems) disorders, and/or diseases related to establishing and/or maintaining a pregnancy. Compositions and methods of the invention find use in, among other things, research and clinical (e.g., preventative and therapeutic) applications.
