Heat treatment reduces bioavailability of 80 nm selenium nanoparticles at a nutritional level. Selenium-deficient mice were orally administered with saline as a control, or 80 nm selenium nanoparticles, either unheated or heated, at a selenium dose of 100 μg/kg for 7 days.

Notes Compared with the controls, *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
