Selenium is a cellular growth inhibitor in many mammary tumor cells. To comprehend the
mechanism for the selenium-induced cell death, we examined the effects of sodium selenite …

The mechanisms involved in the anti‐carcinogenic activity of selenium remain to be
elucidated. In the present study, we examined sodium selenite‐induced oxidative stress and …

Abstract Purpose Selenium (Se) compounds are well known to inhibit cell proliferation and
induce cell death in human cancer cells. Respective chemical forms of Se are intracellularly …

The essential trace element selenium is also toxic at low doses. Since supplementation of
selenium is discussed as cancer prophylaxis, we investigated whether or not bioavailable …

Apoptosis induction may be a mechanism mediating the anticancer activity of selenium. Our
earlier work indicated that distinct cell death pathways are likely involved in apoptosis …

Selenium is an important trace element with anti-cancer properties. In the present study, the
apoptosis-inducing effects of organic selenium derivatives, namely methyl-l-selenocysteine …

The effects of selenium exposure were studied in LNCaP human prostate cancer cells, and
this same cell line adapted to selenium over 6 months to compare acute versus chronic …

Aim The precise mechanisms of apoptosis induced by various selenium compounds are not
well understood. Therefore, the apoptogenic activity of two inorganic selenium compounds …

The mechanisms involved in the anti-carcinogenic activity of selenium remained to be
elucidated. In the present study, we examined sodium selenite induced apoptosis and …

Several studies have shown that selenium can inhibit tumorigenesis in tissues. However,
little is known about the mechanism and the effect of selenium on DNA, especially in brain …
