{"product_id":"selenium-von-undefined","title":"Selenium","description":"As discussed in this book, a large body of evidence indicates  that selenium is a cancer chemopreventive agent. Further evidence  points to a role of this element in reducing viral expression, in  preventing heart disease, and other cardiovascular and muscle  disorders, and in delaying the progression of AIDS in HIV infected  patients. Selenium may also have a role in mammalian development, in  male fertility, in immune function and in slowing the aging process.  The mechanism by which selenium exerts its beneficial effects on  health may be through selenium-containing proteins. Selenium is  incorporated into protein as the amino acid selenocysteine.  Selenocysteine utilizes a specific tRNA, a specific elongation factor,  a specific set of signals, and the codeword, UGA, for its  cotranslational insertion into protein. It is indeed the 21st  naturally occurring amino acid to be incorporated into protein and  marks the first and only expansion of the genetic code since the code  was deciphered in the mid 1960s.\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781461356394\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIts Molecular Biology and Role in Human Health\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9781461356394","offer_id":46462936187205,"sku":"9781461356394","price":53.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/6e86f495-e425-4045-bc4b-24eb8cb22480.jpg?v=1775794261","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/selenium-von-undefined","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
