Selenium is a trace element that is required for many essential biochemical functions in the body. This includes its antioxidant role in several redox reactions, such as those involving glutathione ...

As a result of climate change, concentrations of the trace element selenium in soils are likely to decrease. Because the selenium content of crops may also be reduced, the risk of selenium deficiency ...

Selenium is an essential micronutrient obtained from dietary sources such as cereals. The selenium content of foodstuffs largely depends on concentrations in the soil: previous studies have shown that ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Weanling C3H/HeN mice were fed either a torula yeast-based diet deficient in selenium (Se) or the same diet supplemented with 0.2 ppm Se as ...

Influenza virus that has been passed through mice deficient in the trace nutrient selenium mutates and emerges from the mice more virulent than before, a new study shows. CHAPEL HILL -- Influenza ...

Investigators report findings from an analysis of 1999-2016 data from NHANES. PHILADELPHIA—Deficiency in dietary selenium and lower blood levels of the nutrient significantly increase the risk for all ...

Selenium is an essential element for life in humans and other animals, and selenium deficiency can be a major health problem. Because of that, farmers and ranchers sometimes try to get more selenium ...

Selenium (Se) as part of glutathione peroxidase and iodothyronine deiodinase enzymes influences thyroid metabolism. This study investigated the association of serum Se levels with thyroid metabolism ...
