- Effects of different levels of dietary selenium nanoparticles on growth performance, muscle composition, blood biochemical profiles and antioxidant status of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) (2015, background): “Since materials at the nanometer dimension exhibit novel properties (Wang et al., 2007b), nano-Se as the novel form of Se has attracted attention.”
- Elemental, Nano-Sized (100-500 nm) Selenium Production by Probiotic Lactic Acid Bacteria (2011, background): “Wang [13] was led to the conclusion in 2007 based on animal tests, nano selenium (Nano-Se) is a very effective antioxidant, without high toxicity properties which is typical for other selenium forms.”
- Effects of different dietary selenium sources (selenium nanoparticle and selenomethionine) on growth performance, muscle composition and glutathione peroxidase enzyme activity of crucian carp (Carassius auratus gibelio) (2009, background): “Nanotechnology holds promise for medication and nutrition because materials at the nanometer dimension exhibit novel properties different from those of both isolated atom and bulk material (Albrecht et al., 2006; Wang et al., 2007).”
- Isolation and characterization of a fungus for extracellular synthesis of small selenium nanoparticles (2013, background): “Nano-Se has comparable efficacy in upregulating selenoenzymes but is less toxic compared to selenite (20, 27).”
- Biosynthesis of selenium nanoparticles by Pantoea agglomerans and their antioxidant activity (2012, background): “In addition, Gao et al. (2002) and Wang et al. (2007), demonstrated the antioxidant properties of selenium hollow spherical nanoparticles, reducing the risk of selenium toxicity.”
