Selenium Test in Vadodara

Sterling Accuris offers a Selenium Test in Vadodara to check for conditions related to selenium deficiency or toxicity.
Overview of the Selenium Test
Selenium is an essential element required by the enzyme glutathione peroxidase which protects against cell membrane damage caused by free radicals. Selenium is also crucial for thyroid functioning and also plays a role in immune defence. Selenium deficiency affects cardiac muscle, leading to cardiomyopathy with fibrous tissue replacing normal cells. Brazil nuts, meat, seafood, cereals, eggs, milk, and grains are some dietary sources of selenium. Selenium toxicity can also occur if daily intake of this element exceeds 4 ppm.
The Selenium test can provide important clues about selenium deficiency or toxicity which is helpful for clinicians in planning treatment. Book a Selenium test near you to detect disorders associated with abnormal levels of selenium in the body.
