Vitamin E is a group of eight fat soluble compounds that include four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. [1] [2] Vitamin E deficiency, which is rare and usually due to an underlying problem with digesting dietary fat rather than from a diet low in vitamin E, [3] can cause nerve problems. [4]
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and androgen in males. [3] In humans, testosterone plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues such as testicles and prostate, as well as promoting secondary sexual characteristics such as increased muscle and bone mass, and the growth of body hair.

There are four main types of Keshan disease: acute, subacute, chronic, and latent. Some signs and symptoms of acute Keshan disease include dizziness, malaise, nausea, chills, loss of appetite, projectile vomiting, pallor, low arterial blood pressure (less than 80/60 mmHg), dyspnea, precardiac (anterior to the heart) or substernal (behind or below the sternum) discomfort, cardiogenic shock, and ...
In molecular biology a selenoprotein is any protein that includes a selenocysteine (Sec, U, Se-Cys) amino acid residue. Among functionally characterized selenoproteins are five glutathione peroxidases (GPX) and three thioredoxin reductases, (TrxR/TXNRD) which both contain only one Sec. [1] Selenoprotein P is the most common selenoprotein found in the plasma.
Protein occurs in a wide range of food. [11] [12] On a worldwide basis, plant protein foods contribute over 60% of the per capita supply of protein. [9] In North America, animal-derived foods contribute about 70% of protein sources. [12] Insects are a source of protein in many parts of the world. [13]
Berzelius is credited with discovering the chemical elements cerium and selenium and with being the first to isolate silicon, thorium, titanium and zirconium. Berzelius discovered cerium in 1803 [29] and selenium in 1817. [30] Berzelius also discovered how to isolate silicon in 1824, [31] and thorium in 1824.
Because organic forms of selenium appear to be excreted from the body slower than inorganic forms, products enriched with organic selenium might detrimentally bioaccumulate in the body. Because selenium-enriched foods contain much more selenium than natural foods, selenium toxicity is a potential problem, and such foods must be treated with ...
