Subchronic dietary exposure of rats to cadmium alters the metabolism of metals essential to bone health [PDF]
Cadmium (Cd) was recently identified as a risk factor for osteoporosis. Skeletal damage may be the critical effect of low-level long-term exposure to Cd in the general population exposed via food, but the mechanisms behind this are not clearly understood.

Research Progress on the Sources and Enrichment of Selenium and Selenium-Rich Dietary Resources [PDF]
Selenium-rich foods serve the dual-function of providing nutrients and organic selenium. In the situation of selenium deficiency in the entire population, it is crucial to understand the sources of selenium and its circulation in the natural environment ...

Selenium supplementation of lactating dairy cows: effects on milk production and total selenium content and speciation in blood, milk and cheese [PDF]
Forty-multiparous Holstein cows were used in a 16-wk continuous design study to determine the effects of either selenium (Se) source, selenized yeast (SY) (derived from a specific strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3060 Sel-Plex®) or sodium ...

Selenium Metabolism in Drosophila [PDF]
Selenocysteine is a rare amino acid in protein that is encoded by UGA with the requirement of a downstream mRNA stem-loop structure, the selenocysteine insertion sequence element. To detect selenoproteins in Drosophila, the entire genome was analyzed with a novel program that searches for selenocysteine insertion sequence elements, followed by ...
