Selenium is an essential micronutrient mineral found mainly in soils and has been shown to
prevent certain cancers in humans and animals. However, the dose and effects of selenium …

Selenium (Se), the most toxic but least plentiful of nutrients in the earth's crust, has two
distinct faces. It was named for Selene, the moon goddess. But Se, unlike the moon, shows …

To explore cellular effects of potent organoselenium chemo‐preventive agents we have
used a rat mammary tumor cell line. We demonstrate that 1, 4‐phenylenebis (methylene) …

Sixteen groups of mice were fed diets containing different selenium species to compare their
toxicity. Inorganic sodium selenate and sodium hydroselenite, elementary nanoSe, organic …

There is very convincing evidence that a high dietary level of selenium substantially reduces
the incidence of a wide variety of animal cancers. The human epidemiological evidence is …

Selenium prevents cancer in some cases but fails to do so in others. Selenium's failure in
this respect may be due to the development of resistance to its chemopreventive actions …

Epidemiologic and preclinical studies provide evidence that the essential nutrient selenium
has cancer protective properties. The mammalian genome encodes 25 selenoprotein genes …

Selenodiglutathione (SDG), the initial metabolite of selenite, is shown to be a more powerful
inhibitor of cell growth in vitro than selenite itself. This has been established both with mouse …

Mounting evidence reveals that selenium is a dietary constituent with anticarcinogenic and
antitumorigenic properties. Various forms of selenium appear to be effective in bringing …

Although the average daily dietary selenium (Se) intake in the United States is consistently
above the adult RDA of 55μg Se/day, supranutritional supplements of 200μg Se/day have …
