From Selenium to Selenoproteins: Synthesis, Identity, and Their Role in Human Health (2007, neutral): “This is somewhat controversial, as selenium has widely been found to inhibit HIV disease progression by boosting the immune system, increasing cytokine production, and decreasing mortality in HIV-infected patients (263).”
Food-chain selenium and human health: emphasis on intake (2008, background): “Thus, the strongest effect of Se on cancer risk has been shown among those subjects with the lowest levels of dietary antioxidant vitamins and carotenoids, and particularly at low a-tocopherol concentrations (for a review, see Rayman((108))).”
Enrichment of cereal grains with zinc: Agronomic or genetic biofortification? (2007, background): “important anti-carcinogenic compound, prevents development of cardiovascular diseases and improves human immune system (Combs and Gray 1998; Rayman 2005).”
Role of ROS and Nutritional Antioxidants in Human Diseases (2018, background): “Vitamin E Wheat germ oil, sunflower oil, hazelnut, and almonds (Reboul et al., 2006) • Reduced the incidence of CVD death and non-fatal myocardial infarction (Stephens et al., 1996).”
Selenium in Plants (2017, background): “Thus, Se supplementation has been reported to reduce the probability of developing cancer (Rayman 2005).”
Timing of supplementation of selenium and isoflavones determines prostate cancer risk factor reduction in rats (2008, positive): “Several lines of evidence confirm the chemopreventive efficacy of high dietary Se intake or status against prostate cancer [14-18].”
Micronutrients for Sustainable Food, Feed, Fibre and Bioenergy Production (2008, background): “Selenium is an important constituent of anti-carcinogenic compounds that prevent development of cardiovascular diseases and improve the human immune system (Combs and Gray, 1998; Rayman, 2005).”
Selenium in Human Health and Disease (2011, neutral): “The highest levels of intake have been recorded in seleniferous regions of China [ > 4990 m g = day (422)] and Venezuela (130, 298, 299).”
