For instance, vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and the essential trace mineral selenium are necessary for the recycling [the enzyme glutathione reductase is considered a flavoenzyme (i.e., it needs a coenzyme form of riboflavin, flavin adenine dinucleotide to operate)] of and use [the enzyme glutathione peroxidase is a selenoprotein (i.e., it needs its cofactor selenium to operate)] of glutathione, respectively
Thus, another aspect for future research of Se at the brain barriers may be related to improving our understanding on sex-related differences, including the effects of dietary Se, selenoproteins, and selenometabolites on permeability and function of BBB, BCB as well as gut-brain axis and brain immunity
