and structural functions. The antioxidant properties of some selenoproteins, such as …

OBJECTIVE: High selenium status has been associated with adverse cardiometabolic
outcomes in selenium-replete populations such as the US. In populations with lower …

Despite the documented antioxidant and chemopreventive properties of selenium, studies of
