Serum and urine selenium concentrations as indicators of body status in patients with diabetes mellitus.
TLDR
The predictive values of serum selenium in diabetic patients are low because of the marked overlap between the two ranges of the populations, and application of linear regression analysis showed a non-statistically significant correlation.About:

Selenium and human health
TL;DR: The crucial factor that needs to be emphasised with regard to the health effects of selenium is the inextricable U-shaped link with status; whereas additional seenium intake may benefit people with low status, those with adequate-to-high status might be affected adversely and should not take selenum supplements.

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 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, the Thyroid, and the Endocrine System
TL;DR: Comparative analysis of the genomes of several life forms reveals that higher mammals contain a limited number of identical genes encoding newly detected selenocysteine-containing proteins, indicating relationships between the two trace elements selenium (Se) and iodine and the hormone network.
Journal Article
Consequences of the diabetic status on the oxidant/antioxidant balance.
TL;DR: The aim of this paper was to review the consequences of the diabetic status on the oxidant/antioxidant balance, and some antidiabetic agents may by themselves have antioxidant properties independently of their role on glucose control.

Modern Nutrition in Health and Disease
TL;DR: The fourth edition of Modern Nutrition in Health and Disease follows the organization established in previous volumes, i.e., "Normal Nutrition," "Nutrition in Disease," and "Nut Nutrition in Periods of Physiologic Stress" Each of the 43 chapters is, in essence, a review of a given topic, with primary emphasis on nutritional principles rather than dietetics as mentioned in this paper.
Modern nutrition in health and disease
TL;DR: The concept of nutrition as a clinical subject has reached maturity and is well presented in an excellent book edited by two prominent nutritionists, Drs.

Association between cardiovascular death and myocardial infarction and serum selenium in a matched-pair longitudinal study.
TL;DR: A case-control study was conducted to investigate the association between serum selenium and risk of death from acute coronary heart disease (CHD) as well as risk of fetal and non-fetal myocardial infarction (MI) in an area with an exceptionally high mortality from cardiovascular diseases.

TL;DR: In conclusion, selenate induces a sustained improvement of glucose homeostasis in streptozotocin-diabetic rats by an insulin-like action, which involves partial correction of altered pretranslational regulatory mechanisms in liver metabolism.
