Investigation of Differentially Expressed Proteins Induced by Alteration of Natural Se Uptake with Ultrahigh-Performance Liquid Chromatography Quadrupole Orbitrap Uncovers the Potential Nutritional Value in Se-Enriched Green Tea

Se-enriched green tea, with an increasing consumption, is the shoot of tea plants grown naturally in a seleniferous region. A label-free proteomic strategy based on ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole Orbitrap was applied to characterize and distinguish the difference between the Se-enriched and normal green tea with a total of 283 proteins identified and 264 proteins quantified, in which 96 proteins were observed different....
