Selenium in the Environment, Metabolism and Involvement in Body Functions
Molecules, 2013 Selenium (Se34 79) is a metalloid which is close to sulfur (S) in terms of properties. The Se concentration in soil varies with type, texture and organic matter content of the soil and with rainfall.

A randomized trial of selenium supplementation and risk of type-2 diabetes, as assessed by plasma adiponectin [PDF]
, 2012 Background: Evidence that selenium affects the risk of type-2 diabetes is conflicting, with observational studies and a few randomized trials showing both lower and higher risk linked to the level of selenium intake and status. We investigated the effect
