The essential micronutrient selenium (Se) exerts its biological effects mainly through
enzymatically active selenoproteins. Their biosynthesis depends on the 21st proteinogenic …

Selenium is an essential trace element in living organisms as integral part of seleno-
enzymes. However, excess amount of selenium is toxic for so-called non-accumulator …

Selenium (Se) is closely associated with kidney disease, and renal injury often occurs
together with hyposelenemia. This study was designed to reveal the mechanism underlying …

Selenium, a dietary trace mineral, essential for humans and animals, exerts its effects mainly
through its incorporation into selenoproteins. Adequate selenium intake is needed to …

Selenoproteins are a unique group of proteins that contain selenium in the form of
selenocysteine (Sec) co-translationally inserted in response to a UGA codon with the help of …

Mechanistic data have revealed a key role for selenium (Se) and selenoproteins in
biological pathways known to be altered in multifactorial diseases, such as cellular …

Selenium (Se) has been known for many years to have played a role in boosting the
immune function, but the manner in which this element acts at the molecular level in host …

Selenium (Se) is an essential dietary trace element that influences immune responses
through its incorporation into selenoproteins as the amino acid selenocysteine. This review …

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element with a narrow margin between beneficial and
toxic effects. As a promising chemopreventive agent, its use requires consumption over the …

Since its detection in 1817 selenium underwent an adventurous trip from a toxic to an
essential element. As integral part of selenoproteins it was assumed that it is capable to …
