Dedication
This book is dedicated to the pioneers in the selenium field, who provided the foundation for the enormous amount of research that has occurred in recent years, bringing extraordinary insights to selenium biology and its role in health and development of humans and other mammals. The discoverer of selenium, Jöns Jacob Berzelius, a Swedish chemist, deserves special recognition as he identified this element in 1817 as a by-product of sulfuric acid production. As we are now on the verge of the 200th anniversary of the Berzelius discovery, this new edition is particularly timely. The anniversary will also be the prevailing theme of The 11th International Symposium on Selenium in Biology and Medicine and The 5th International Conference on Selenium in the Environment and Human Health, to be held in Stockholm, Sweden, in August 2017. One of the early studies that impacted how selen
