Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNutritional control of HIV-AIDS-A case for SeleniumParisa Kalantari, Hema Vunta, Umamaheswari D. Palempalli et al.Selenium (Se) is a micronutrient that is incorporated into proteins. Some of the selenoenzymes such as GPXs and thioredoxin reductases exhibit glutathione peroxidase-dependent activities towards organic and inorganic peroxides. Thus, selenoenzymes play a pivotal role in mitigating oxidative stress caused by accumulation of peroxides. In this respect, selenoproteins may interfere with the transcription-driven by oxidative stress-dependent signaling mechanisms to influence … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,344 accessesView PDFCite
