A double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial from 2019, recruited 71 children and adolescents with autoimmune thyroiditis and thyroid antibodies (anti-TPO and anti-TG) >60IU/mL. Subjects were randomized to 200 mcg l-selenomethionine (SeMet) or placebo daily for six months. The SeMet group had a significantly greater reduction in anti-TG levels compared to the placebo group.
