Abstract excerpt
SCOPE: Selenium is an essential trace nutrient for human health. This study investigates the organic form of selenium, N-γ-(L-Glutamyl)-L-selenomethionine (Glu-SeMet), for its effects on aging indicators and stress resistance. The role of the selenoprotein TRXR-1 was also evaluated in Caenorhabditis elegans. METHODS AND RESULTS: Glu-SeMet-treated wild-type N2 worms showed increased survival upon oxidative and...
