Plasma selenium levels and risk of new-onset diabetes in hypertensive adults
ConclusionsOur data suggest that high plasma selenium (≥94.8 μg/L) was associated with increased risk of new-onset diabetes in hypertensive patients.

Investigation into the intracellular fates, speciation and mode of action of selenium-containing neuroprotective agents using XAS and XFM
ConclusionsThe differences in activity were thus attributed to the varied speciation and cellular localisation of the compounds, or their metabolites, as detected by X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence microscopy.SignificanceThe work is significant as it links, for the first time, the protective action of selenium compounds against redox stress with particular chemical speciation using a direct measurement approach.

Investigation into the intracellular fates, speciation and mode of action of selenium-containing neuroprotective agents using XAS and XFM.
CONCLUSIONS: The differences in activity were thus attributed to the varied speciation and cellular localisation of the compounds, or their metabolites, as detected by X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence microscopy. SIGNIFICANCE: The work is significant as it links, for the first time, the protective action of selenium compounds against redox stress with particular chemical speciation using a direct measurement approach.

Dietary and blood selenium are inversely associated with the prevalence of stroke among Inuit in Canada
In conclusion, blood and dietary selenium are reversely associated with the prevalence of stroke in Inuit, which follows an L-shaped relationship. Whether this relationship applies to other population needs further investigation.
