摘要: Selenium was shown in 1957 to be an essential dietary nutrient for the rat (Schwarz and Foltz 1957). In same year, Mills (1957) reported discovery of enzyme, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px, GSH: H2O2 oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.9), that important protection erythrocytes against hemolysis. These two discoveries, plus apparent interaction sulfur compounds with Se GSH-Px, led J. T. Rotruck W. G. Hoekstra at Wisconsin 1971 identify GSH-Px as a Se-dependent enzyme (Rotruck et al. 1972, 1973). The background this described succinctly Second Biology Medicine Symposium 1981).
