The role of rs713041 glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) single nucleotide polymorphism on disease susceptibility in humans: a systematic review and meta-analysis. International journal of molecular sciences [online], 23(24), article 15762. Available from: https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms232415762

The single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs713041, located in the regulatory region, is required to incorporate selenium into the selenoprotein glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and has been found to have functional consequences. This systematic review...

Selenium and viral infection: are there lessons for COVID-19? (2020)
Journal Article
BERMANO, G., MÉPLAN, C., MERCER, D.K. and HESKETH, J.E. 2021. Selenium and viral infection: are there lessons for COVID-19? British journal of nutrition [online], 125(6), pages 618-627. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1017/S0007114520003128

Selenium (Se) is a micronutrient that is essential for human health. Sub-optimal Se status is common, occurring in a significant proportion of the population across the world, including parts of Europe and China. Human and animal studies have shown t...
