Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids and their metabolites: Implications for diabetes pathophysiology, prevention, and treatment In 2013, the global burden of diabetes was estimated to be 382 million individuals, increasing to almost 592 million by 2035 [1]. The economic burden of diabetes is also high, in part due to chronic comorbidities such as cardiovascular and renal disease. US healthcare spending because of diabetes and its complications reached almost $306 billion in 2012 [2]. Of note, the aging population, specifi- cally those over 65, are expected to experience the greatest increase ...

Selenium and Metabolic Disorders: An Emphasis on Type 2 Diabetes Risk Selenium (Se) is a micronutrient that maintains biological functions through the action of Se containing proteins known as selenoproteins. Due to the known antioxidant effects of Se, supplements containing Se have been on the rise. While Se supplementation may be beneficial for Se deficient populations, few are at risk for Se deficiency due to the transportation of food from Se-rich regions and the rise of Se-enriched foods. Alarmingly, Se supplementation may have adverse effects in people who already receive an adequate ...
