Possible Interaction: Antimony and Selenium

“Cadmium, for example, is a key risk-increasing element for prostate cancer; for breast cancer, Cd, Cr, Zn are mainly contributing; for bronchial cancer (in smelter workers), Cd, As, Cr, Sb , Co, La, all these elements are in a reciprocal relationship with Se.”

“However, over the years, numerous elements such as As, Cu, Zn, Cd, Hg, Sn, Pb, Ni, Co, Sb , Bi, Ag, Au, and Mo have been found to inhibit anti-carcinogenic effects of selenium , which may affect the anti-carcinogenic activity of selenium.”

“ SB and SE correlated negatively (−0.32; p < 0.0001).”

“30 fold higher) in the case of Sb 2 Se 3 -rGO as compared to bare Sb 2 Se 3 throughout the operating voltage window.”

“The results indicate that the combination of Se alloying and Sb doping is successful in improving the thermoelectric properties of Te.”

“In general, Se and Sb mutually showed antagonistic effects on their uptake and concentrations in different subcellular fractions.”

“In this study, we hypothesize that Se can affect the subcellular distribution of Sb to regulate Sb toxicity.”

“ Selenium (Se) can alleviate the toxicity of antimony (Sb) in plants; however, the associated mechanisms have not been fully clarified.”

“The interrelationship between the biliary excretion of exogenous group Va-metalloids (arsenic, antimony and bismuth) and selenium , as well as endogenous glutathione has been studied in rats injected intravenously with sodium selenite and one of the group Va-metalloids.”

“The presence of Sb in the yeast medium slightly increased the Se level only after long incubation times.”
