Abstract
Selenium is an ultra trace essential element for the normal functioning body because of forming the active center of redox enzymes such as four kinds of glutathione peroxidases (GPx), thioredoxin reductase (TR) and 5'-iodothyronine deiodinase. However, the adequate range between deficient and excessive levels is very narrow. (omitted)
