Quantitative determination of selenium in the most common food items sold in Egypt
Abstract Particular interest in selenium (Se) was generated as a result of clinical studies showing that balanced Se dietary system is very important for many physiological processes. There is no recent information available on the Se content in Egyptian foods. The present study was conducted to mea...
