Results from this study indicate that Se status is depressed among pediatric patients with burns and that recommended Se intake for healthy children is likely insufficient for this population. Further studies are necessary to elucidate the amount of dietary Se required to maximize Se stores among pediatric patients with burn injuries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
