Abstract

1 min read

Our results suggest that levels of toenail selenium are lower among diabetic men with or without CVD than among healthy controls. However, this study could not distinguish between the effects of selenium on diabetes and those on CVD. Randomized clinical trials are needed to study potential benefits of selenium supplementation in the prevention and treatment of diabetes and CVD.
