Title: Why are high intracellular concentrations of molybdenum and selenium damaging? Post by: PCRDON on Apr 14, 2016 Tried searching literature for toxicity mechanisms etc of molybdenum and selenium but to no avail. Help needed!
Title: Re: Why are high intracellular concentrations of molybdenum and selenium damaging? Post by: bio_man on Apr 15, 2016 Well, they are heavy metals. Heavy metals are potent free radicals and disrupters of human health. It leads to metal toxicity.
Title: Re: Why are high intracellular concentrations of molybdenum and selenium damaging? Post by: PCRDON on Apr 16, 2016 Yes I understand that but I'm just looking for something a bit more specific. There is lots of literatuere on mechanisms of toxicity for copper, cobalt, nickle etc but when it comes to molybdenum and selenium I can hardly find any.
Title: Re: Why are high intracellular concentrations of molybdenum and selenium damaging? Post by: bio_man on Apr 16, 2016 I'll suggest something else:
