Abstract excerpt
We previously reported a spontaneous development of type 2 diabetes-like phenotypes in glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPX1)-overexpressing (OE) mice. Diet restriction of these mice rescued all their phenotypes, except for hyperinsulinemia and hypersecretion of insulin. This study was to determine whether dietary Se deficiency eliminated these two primary effects of GPX1 overproduction. Forty-seven male OE and...
