“In contrast to TGs, the presence of free SEs is favored at tubules and increasing SE levels is inhibitory to the curvature-induced nucleation of TG LDs.”
“In the entire set of fish and shellfish samples, we documented a decrease of THg concentrations with increasing selenium to mercury (Se:Hg) ratio suggesting a protection of Se against Hg.”

“We identified that species of management concern accumulate THg and Se to levels above risk thresholds and that fishes of the White-Yampa (THg) and Gunnison (Se) rivers are at the greatest risk in the UCRB.”
“ Selenium treatment significantly attenuated the CHS- or thapsigargin ( Tg , an ER stress activator)-induced apoptosis, potentiation of caspase 3 activity, and the increased protein expression levels of BAX, GRP78, and CHOP.”

“Obviously, negative correlations (r > 0.9993) were found between TSe and THg in water.”
“The molar ratios between TSe and THg in all investigated fishponds were far higher than 1, indicating good protective effects of selenium on mercury toxicity.”
