“Even though selenium counteracts the neurotoxicity of mercury, cadmium, lead and vanadium , it causes them to accumulate in the brain, presumably in a nontoxic complex.”
“ Vanadium administration throughout the study reduced relative liver weight (RLW), nodular incidence (57.15%), total number, and multiplicity (48.45%) with restoration of hepatic zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg), selenium ( Se ), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), and calcium (Ca) contents when compared to the carcinogen control.”

“The concentration of ascorbic acid was decreased after co-administration of selenium and vanadium.”
“These results suggest that selenium protects neuronal cells against neurotoxic effects of vanadium by maintaining the availability of antioxidant nonprotein sulfhydryl groups.”
“Fluorine, molybdenum, chromium, vanadium , cadmium, zinc, cobalt, nickel, and uranium were found to increase the toxicity of Se , while arsenic and tungsten, to a lesser extent, gave some protection against it.”
