International review standardizes selenosugar nomenclature and selenium metabolism

Selenosugars are the major urinary metabolites responsible for the physiological excretion of selenium. Understanding selenium metabolism relies on accurately detecting and identifying selenosugars. However, research has been hindered by inconsistent terminology used for selenosugars, varying analytical practices and an incomplete understanding of the biological pathway for selenosugar biosynthesis.
