BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of death worldwide, and arsenic (As) intake, mainly through drinking water, is a well-known risk factor for CVD as well as other health problems. Selenium (Se) is a known antagonist to As toxicity.
OBJECTIVE: We tested the potential of high-Se lentils from the Canadian prairies as a therapeutic food to alter the outcome of As-enhanced atherosclerosis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Male ApoE(-/-) mice exposed to a moderate level of As (200ppb) in their drinking water, and control mice on tap water received one of three lentil diets: Se-deficient (0.009mg/kg), Se-adequate (0.16mg/kg) or Se-high (0.3mg/kg). After 13weeks, lesion formation in the aortic arch and sinus were assessed. Intralesional cellular composition, serum lipid levels and hepatic oxidative stress were assessed as well.
RESULTS: Arsenic-exacerbated plaque formation was reduced in the sinus and completely abolished in the aortic arch of mice on the Se-fortified lentil diet, whereas lesions were increased in As-exposed mice on both the Se-deficient and Se-adequate diets. Notably, Se deficiency contributed to proatherogenic composition of serum lipids in As-exposed mice as indicated by high-density lipoprotein:low-density lipoprotein. At least adequate Se status was crucial for counteracting As-induced oxidative stress.
CONCLUSION: This study is the first to show the potential of high-Se lentils to protect against As-triggered atherosclerosis, and this invites further investigations in human populations at risk from As contamination of their drinking water.
