Inhibition by Selenium Compounds of Catecholamine Secretion Due to Inhibition of Ca2+ Influx in Cultured Bovine Adrenal Chromaffin Cells

Abstract.: Selenium is an essential trace metal element, whereas large doses of selenium exert adverse effects to the human body. We examined the effects of selenium compounds, sodium selenite (Na2SeO3) and sodium selenate (Na2SeO4), on catecholamine secretion from cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin...
