The essential trace element, selenium (Se), is crucial to the brain but it may be potentially
neurotoxic, depending on dosage and speciation; Se has been discussed for decades in …

The many biological and biomedical effects of selenium are relatively unknown outside the
selenium field. This fascinating element, initially described as a toxin, was subsequently …

This paper reviews some recent findings on the interactions between selenium deficiency
and iodine deficiency. Both micronutrients can control the levels of selenoprotein mRNAs …

Selenoprotein P (Sepp) is a remarkable selenoprotein. Among all mammalian
selenoproteins, it is the only one containing more than one selenocysteine, and ten in …

Selenium is an essential micronutrient with important functions in human health and
relevance to several pathophysiological conditions. The biological effects of selenium are …

Selenium (Se), in the form of the 21st amino acid selenocysteine, is an integral part of
selenoproteins and essential for mammals. While a large number of health claims for Se has …

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element, and its low status in humans has been linked to
increased risk of various diseases, such as cancer and heart disease. In recent years, Se …

▪ Abstract Selenoprotein P is an abundant extracellular glycoprotein that is rich in
selenocysteine. It has two domains with respect to selenium content. The N-terminal domain …

The role of selenium in human brain physiology, as well as in aging and neurodegenerative
processes, remains unclear. Thus, the aim of this study was to establish the …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease associated with
cognitive decline, loss of memory, and progressive cerebral atrophy. The trace element …
