/Experimental Therapy/ ... Se-methylselenocysteine (SeMSC), a naturally occurring organic Se product, is considered as one of the most effective chemopreventive selenocompounds. ... Compared with SeMSC, elemental Se at nano size (Nano-Se) possessed equal efficacy in increasing the activities of glutathione peroxidase, thioredoxin reductase, and glutathione S-transferase, but had much lower toxicity as indicated by median lethal dose, acute liver injury, survival rate, and short-term toxicity. /These/ results suggest that Nano-Se can serve as a potential chemopreventive agent with reduced risk of Se toxicity.

FDA Label
Selenium is incorporated into many different selenoproteins which serve various functions throughout the body.
D - Dermatologicals
D11 - Other dermatological preparations
D11A - Other dermatological preparations
D11AC - Medicated shampoos
D11AC03 - Selenium compounds
Absorption
Oral bioavailability of 90% when given as L-selenomethionine. Tmax of 9.17h.
Route of Elimination
Mainly excreted in urine as 1beta-methylseleno-N-acetyl-d-galactosamine and trimethylselenonium. The amount excreted as 1beta-methylseleno-N-acetyl-d-galactosamine plateaus at doses around 2microg after which the amount excreted as trimethylselenonium increases. Some selenium is also excreted in feces when given orally.
Elemental selenium .. is poorly absorbed.

... The distribution and retention of inhaled selenious acid and selenium metal aerosols ... similar in size and chemical form to selenium aerosols that may be produced during fossil fuel combustion /were examined/. Beagle dogs were given 10 to 61 ug Se/kg of body weight by inhalation. Aerosols generated for the inhalation exposures were also collected and instilled into the upper respiratory tracts or stomachs of additional dogs to measure systemic absorption at these sites. Selenium-75, incorporated into the aerosols, was used to determine the Se content in the whole animal, excreta, and individual tissues as a function of time. Virtually all inhaled selenious acid aerosol was rapidly absorbed into the blood from the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and the nasal membranes. Selenium metal aerosols were less rapidly absorbed. Selenium that was absorbed into the blood was translocated to the liver, kidney, spleen, and heart. Selenium-75 in these organs had a biological half-life of 30 to 40 days. Approximately 50% of the deposited Se was eliminated with a biological half life of 1.2 days. Urine was the major route of excretion, accounting for 70 to 80% of the excreted Se. The long-term component of the whole-body retention function for both inhaled aerosols had a half-life of about 34 days and accounted for about 20% of the initial Se dose. ... Although absorption of selenious acid into blood following inhalation was more rapid than absorption of selenium metal, once absorbed the disposition of both compounds was similar. 6845362

Selenium supplements are typically available in the form of sodium selenite which is metabolized to selenide through either glutathione conjugation and subsequent reduction by glutathione reductase enzymes or reduction by thioredoxin reductases. Selenide is further metabolized to selenocystein by cysteine synthases and to selenophosphate by selenophosphate synthases. Selenide is also metabolized progressively to methyl-selenol, dimethyl selenide, then trimethylselenonium. Selenocysteine is degraded to methyl-selenol, pyruvate and ammonia by cysteine beta lyase. Selenocystein reacts with oxygen to form selenocysteine selenoxide which spontaneously degrades to methylselenic acid, pyruvate and ammonia. Methylselenic acid can be converted to methylselenol via conjugation with thiol groups on proteins like glutathione.
Selenium compounds are in part reduced in the body to elemental selenium... Much is metabolized to dimethyl selenide which is excreted by the lungs, imparting a garlic-like odor.

Selenium is first metabolized to selenophosphate and selenocysteine. Selenium incorporation is genetically encoded through the RNA sequence UGA. This sequence is recognized by RNA ste loop structures called selenocysteine inserting sequences (SECIS). These structures require the binding of SECIS binding proteins (SBP-2) to recognize selenocystiene. The specialized tRNA is first bound to a serine residue which is then enzymatically processed to a selylcysteyl-tRNA by selenocystiene sythase using selenophosphate as a selenium donor. Other unidentified proteins are required as part of the binding of this tRNA to the ribosome. Selenoproteins appear to be necessary for life as mice with the specialized tRNA gene knocked out exhibited early embryonic lethality. The most important selenoproteins seem to be the glutathione peroxidases and thioredoxin reductases which are part of the body's defenses againts reactive oxygen species (ROS). The importance of selenium in these anti-oxidant proteins has been implicated in the reduction of atherosclerosis by preventing the oxidation of low density lipoprotein. Selenium supplementation is also being investigated in the prevention of cancer and has been suggested to be beneficial to immune function.
