Mechanism of selenium-induced inhibition of arsenic-enhanced UVR carcinogenesis in mice.
BACKGROUND: Hairless mice that ingested arsenite in drinking water exhibited more than a 5-fold enhancement of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) carcinogenesis, whereas arsenite alone was carcinogenically inactive. Dietary organoselenium blocked the cancer enhancement effect of arsenic but not cancer indu...
