To study the biological basis of selenium in resisting senescence through its effects on cellular telomerase activity and telomere length. In the experiments, the cell line of hepatocytes L-02 was divided into three groups supplemented with sodium selenite at final concentrations of 0, 0.5 and 2.5 micromol/L, respectively. Cellular telomerase activity was measured by telomeric repeat amplification protocol and enzymatic luminometric inorganic pyrophosphate detection assay. RT-PCR was used to semi-quantitatively detect human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene expression. The change of telomere length was assayed through flow cytometry and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Results showed that L-02 cells had low telomerase activity and hTERT gene expression level when cultured in the normal way. The cells grew well after 3-week-cultivation in the media supplemented with 0.5 or 2.5 micromol/L sodium selenite. Besides, sodium selenite significantly increased cellular telomerase activity and hTERT gene expression level. The telomere length of L-02 cells was also extended after 4-week-cultivation with sodium selenite. Thus, sodium selenite at nutritional doses could prolong the life span of hepatocytes L-02 through increasing telomerase activity and telomere length. This result provides a possible mechanism for explaining the anti-senescence function of selenium.

What would be the effective dosage for a human?

Would any form of Selenium do this, or is there something special about sodium selenite?

If I am reading this correctly then dosages up to 20mg of sodium selenite (0.2mg per kg, so a 100kg person would need 20mg) could be used for treating cancer.

Selenite sodium is a small molecule. This gives 2 logical reasoning:
 
1. Its penetrating ability is much higher than that of cycloastrogenol.
2. A small enough dosage.
 
But ... selenium stimulates cancer

This is a very useful video, I advise everyone to see it!
 
Pro selenium: watch the video on a time interval (36:20 - 36:35):
 
"Selenium causes liver cancer in rats, but there are people who are sensitive to selenium, so this advertising is also not particularly credible."

Do you expect everyone to understand Russian? There aren't even subtitles.

Yes you are right  :)
I thought you could turn on the subtitles in the settings.
 
Very strange ... Maybe some countries are not interested in this knowledge being disseminated?
 
I translated the effect of selenium to you.
 
Unfortunately, I do not know English well enough to make a quick and accurate translation of the full video

Selenium is good for immun system, if you don't eat enough selenium, you can get autoimmune disease,which can increase cancer risk .
