Selenium in global food systems.
TL;DR: Low Se status is likely to contribute to morbidity and mortality due to infectious as well as chronic diseases, and increasing Se intakes in all parts of the world can be expected to reduce cancer rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selenium: clinical significance and analytical concepts.
TL;DR: Nutritional requirements, biological availability, and metabolism are discussed in relation to geographical, age, and method variability, and Sampling, processing procedures, and methods for selenium quantitation are reviewed.

Selenium, zinc and copper plasma levels in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, in normal pregnancies and in healthy individuals, in Chile.
Humberto Reyes,María E. Báez,González M,Ismael Hernandez,Joaquín Palma,Jose Ribalta,Lorena Sandoval,Rodrigo Zapata +7 more
TL;DR: The present study shows that the decrease in the prevalence of ICP in Chile during the last decade coincides with an increase in plasma Se levels, which coincides with a higher plasma Se concentration in summer than in other seasons, as observed in normal pregnancies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Depressed selenium and vitamin E levels in an alcoholic population. Possible relationship to hepatic injury through increased lipid peroxidation.
TL;DR: Serum selenium and vitamin E levels have been measured in subjects with established alcoholic liver disease, in alcoholics within the community, and in appropriate controls and depressed serum seenium levels correlated closely with poor nutritional status.

Selenium deficiency in total parenteral nutrition.
TL;DR: Evidence is added for the essentiality of Se in man and the need to consider Se supplementation in long- term TPN and the close association between erythrocyte Se and GSHPx activity withTPN and blood transfusion could indicate that for these patients ery throat Se was largely determined by Se from GSHpx.

Selenium in human health and disease with emphasis on those aspects peculiar to New Zealand.
C D Thomson,M F Robinson +1 more
TL;DR: At present supplementation by the general population is not justified, but may be necessary for certain vulnerable groups such as patients on restricted diets, and the most effective means of supplementation for increasing the Se status of New Zealanders is under study.

Decreased Jejunal Uptake of Labeled Folic Acid (3H-PGA) in Alcoholic Patients: Roles of Alcohol and Nutrition
TL;DR: The data suggest that the functional defect is caused by poor nutrition rather than a toxic effect of ethanol on the jejunum, and confirms that the absorption of folic acid is decreased in malnourished, actively drinking alcoholics.
