Recent advances in the mechanism of selenoamino acids toxicity in eukaryotic cells
Selenium is an essential trace element due to its incorporation into selenoproteins with important biological functions. However, at high doses it is toxic. Selenium toxicity is generally attributed to the induction of oxidative stress. However, it has become apparent that the mode of action of sele...
