Síntesis, caracterización y biotransformación de nanopartículas de selenio: aplicación al desarro...

Selenium (Se) is an essential element for human health. The health-promoting properties of Se are due to vital functions of selenoproteins in which selenium is present as selenocysteine (SeCys). The important role of selenoproteins in human metabolism justifies the adverse consequence of selenium deficiency.
