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 …

Experimental studies with rodents indicate that selenium supplementation at levels above
the dietary requirement is capable of protecting against tumorigenesis induced by chemical …

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 …

INTRODUCTION s IP HAS DISCUSSED,(') selenium supplementation inhibits tumorigenesis
in a variety of organs A and species and under different dietary conditions. The majority of …

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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) happens to be one of the most lethal cancers in the world.
Even though most cases occur in the developing world, reported cases in Western Europe …

The known metabolic functions of selenium, which appear to be discharged by a fairly small
number of selenoproteins, do not fully explain the anticarcinogenic effects of selenium …

Our previous studies have implicated the selenium metabolite selenodiglutathione (SDG) in
the growth inhibitory effects of selenite in vitro. Other work has suggested that reactive …

Selenium is generally known as an antioxidant due to its presence in selenoproteins as
selenocysteine, but it is also toxic. The toxic effects of selenium are, however, strictly …

Selenium is increasingly recognized as a versatile anticarcinogenic agent. Its protective
functions cannot be solely attributed to the action of glutathione peroxidase. Instead …
