Is selenium deficiency the cause of uraemic cardiomyopathy?

Abstract:

:We studied the relationship between serum selenium (Se) and left ventricular performance in 33 patients on maintenance haemodialysis. Low serum Se was frequent. However, there were no significant differences in echocardiographic indices of left ventricular function between patients with serum Se less than 0.9 umol/l and those with serum Se greater than 0.9 umol/l. We conclude that Se deficiency is not an important cause of cardiac failure in uraemia.

  • Tau and Axonal Transport Misregulation in Tauopathies.

    abstract::Tau is a microtubule-associated protein that is involved in both normal and pathological processes in neurons. Since the discovery and characterization of tau over 40 years ago, our understanding of tau's normal functions and toxic roles in neurodegenerative tauopathies has continued to expand. Fast axonal transport i...
