Journal ArticleDOI
Selenium in human health and disease.
Susan J. Fairweather-Tait,Yongping Bao,Martin R. Broadley,Rachel Collings,Dianne Ford,John E. Hesketh,Rachel Hurst +6 more
TL;DR: The relationships between selenium intake/status and health, or risk of disease, are complex but require elucidation to inform clinical practice, to refine dietary recommendations, and to develop effective public health policies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selenium bioavailability: current knowledge and future research requirements
TL;DR: The effect of genotype adds a potential further dimension to the process of deriving bioavailability estimates and underlines the need for further research to facilitate the process for deriving dietary recommendations in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selenium and prostate cancer: systematic review and meta-analysis
Rachel Hurst,Lee Hooper,Teresa Norat,R. Lau,Dagfinn Aune,Darren C. Greenwood,R. Vieira,Rachel Collings,Linda J. Harvey,Jonathan A C Sterne,R Beynon,Jelena Savović,Susan J. Fairweather-Tait +12 more
TL;DR: The relation between selenium status and decreased prostate cancer risk was examined over a relatively narrow range of selenum status; further studies in low-selenium populations are required.
Journal ArticleDOI
The absorption of iron from whole diets: a systematic review
Rachel Collings,Linda J. Harvey,Lee Hooper,Rachel Hurst,Tracey J. Brown,Jennifer Ansett,Maria King,Susan J. Fairweather-Tait +7 more
TL;DR: Large variations were observed in mean nonheme-iron absorption between studies, which depended on iron status (diet had a greater effect at low serum and plasma ferritin concentrations) and dietary enhancers and inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI
EURRECA—Estimating Zinc Requirements for Deriving Dietary Reference Values
Rachel Hurst,Rachel Collings,Linda J. Harvey,Maria King,Lee Hooper,Jildau Bouwman,Mirjana Gurinovic,Susan J. Fairweather-Tait +7 more
TL;DR: The need for more high quality studies to address gaps in current knowledge is highlighted, in particular the continued search for a reliable biomarker of zinc status and the influence of genetic polymorphisms on individual dietary requirements.
