Tracing links between micronutrients and type 2 diabetes risk: the singular role of selenium
Our study presents novel evidence of a positive correlation between selenium intake and T2D risk, underscoring the importance of micronutrients in diabetes prevention and treatment strategies. Further research is necessary to confirm these findings and to clarify the specific biological mechanisms through which selenium influences diabetes risk.
