Oxidative stress is involved in sepsis-related endothelium dysfunction. Selenoprotein-P (Sel-P), the main plasma selenoprotein, may have high antioxidant potential, and binds to endothelium. We hypothesize that, in septic shock, and similar syndromes such as systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), Sel-P binds massively to endothelium, causing a drop in Sel-P plasma concentration.
