"Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element possessing anticarcinogenic properties and other biological functions. This study determined the role sodium selenite plays on intracellular signaling, including protein kinase C (PKC), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB), and inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) in murine B lymphoma (A20) cells," scientists in the United States report.

"In vitro supplementation of A20 cells with low concentrations of sodium selenite (0.005-5 mcM) caused a significant increase in cellular proliferation exclusively at 72 hours (h). Proliferation and cell...
