Selenium, antioxidant status and radical/reactive oxygen species in medicine

Medizinische Klinik
K Winnefeld

Abstract

In all organisms with a metabolism of oxygen, radicals/reactive oxygen species appear. Normally a balance exists between formation and destruction of radicals. Many diseases show a disturbance of this balance with the destruction of biological structures. Results in patients with sepsis, terminal renal failure, bone marrow transplantation and cancer are given. To avoid a possible pro-oxidative effect (vitamins C and E) and intoxications (selenium), before substitution a monitoring is necessary.

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.
