Phthalic selenoanhydride (R-Se) solved in physiological buffer releases various reactive
selenium species including H2Se. It is a potential compound for Se supplementation which …

The pharmacology of selenium is of much interest because selenium deficiency has been
linked to cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and arthritis, and selenoenzymes are critical …

We report here the first orally active, selenium-based antihypertensive agent, and we
demonstrate its restricted CNS permeability using inductively coupled plasma/mass …

Selenium (Se) is an important dietary micronutrient required for sustaining optimal health.
Se is incorporated into proteins, many of which are antioxidants that protect the body against …

Selenium compounds exert their antioxidant activity mostly when the selenium atom is
incorporated into selenoproteins. In our work, we tested the possibility that selenite itself …

Chronic low-grade inflammation and oxidative damage are strongly associated with
pathologies including cardiovascular disease. As a consequence, there is considerable …

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element involved in several biological pathways,
naturally found in rocks, soils, and food. Even though the daily requirement of Se is achieved …

Objective: The aim was to examine the effect of selenium supplement on endothelium
dependent relaxation in rat aortic rings. Methods: Rats were supplemented with selenium for …

Selenium, long recognised as an important 'dietary antioxidant', is now known to be an
essential component of the active sites of a number of enzymes, including the glutathione …

Increased oxidative stress is one of the basic contributors to the development of the
cardiovascular complications in diabetes. Both endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cell …
