Research advance of biological functions of selenium and selenoprotein in ocular diseases

Selenium is an essential microelement required as a nutrient by human organism to perform important biological functions, mainly in the form of selenocysteine. It plays an important role in improving human immunity and the myocardial nutritional blood flow, and preventing oxidative stress. Various o...
