Association of selenium status with endothelial activation during acute systemic inflammation in children

Evidence that selenium has a role in endothelial function comes mainly from experimental research, but few clinical studies have examined the pathophysiology of selenium in endothelial activation. We aimed to investigate whether there are associations between selenium status and the magnitude of endothelial activation and the severity of multiple organ dysfunction during the acute phase of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in...
