“…In particular, SeMSC displays the highest anticarcinogenic activity, in mammals, of all seleno amino acids and methylseleno amino acids (Davis, Zeng, & Finley, 2002). However, Brassicaceae contains a naturally low SeMSC concentration, which can be significantly increased by fortifying the soil or culture media with sodium selenite or selenate (Charron, Kopsell, Randle, & Sams, 2001 addition, selenoglucosinolates have higher anticarcinogenic activity than thioglucosinolates in Se-treated broccoli (Matich et al, 2012). In plants, the chemical and physical resemblance between Se and S causes both elements to share common metabolic pathways in plants, thus, Se often substitutes for S in physiological and metabolic processes (Sors, Ellis, & Salt, 2005).…”
