TLDR
Arsenic improved the growth of rats chronically poisoned by selenium, largely prevented the liver damage caused by seenium, and decreased the amount of selenum retained in the tissues.About:

Review of selenium toxicity in the aquatic food chain.
TL;DR: Concerns about selenium impacts on aquatic resources in Southeastern Idaho and British Columbia and the growing discomfort among the scientific community with a waterborne criterion has lead the US Environment Protection Agency to consider a tissue-based criterion for Selenium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arsenic and selenium toxicity and their interactive effects in humans
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that at low concentration, Se can decrease As toxicity via excretion of As-Se compound [(GS3)2AsSe](-), but at high concentration, excessive Se can enhance As toxicity by reacting with S-adenosylmethionine and glutathione, and modifying the structure and activity of arsenite methyltransferase.

Proposed recommended nutrient densities for moderately malnourished children.
TL;DR: A factorial approach has been used in deriving the recommendations for both functional, protective nutrients ( type I) and growth nutrients (type II) in children with moderate malnutrition who require accelerated growth to regain normality.

The protective effect of small amounts of selenite in sublimate intoxication
J. Pařízek,Ivana Ošťádalová +1 more
TL;DR: L'injection de très petites quantités de sélénite de sodium, administrées simultanément ou 1 h après l'intoxication par le sublimé corrosif, en abaisse considérablement la toxicité survivent sous l'effet du sé lénite dans un % important.

A physicochemical rationale for the biological activity of mercury and its compounds
TL;DR: The data available on the distribution of methylmercury in human tissues indicate that pathological effects are the result of real concentrations of mercury in the affected organs and mental impairment has been found at levels of greater than 1 ppm.

Selenium metabolism: VI. Effect of arsenic on the excretion of selenium in the bile
O.A. Levander,C.A. Baumann +1 more
TL;DR: Arsenic has been demonstrated to increase greatly the amount of selenium excreted in rat bile and the administration of unlabeled selenite significantly increased the amounts of radioarsenic inRat bile.
