Information concerning the effects of selenium in man is lacking and it is doubtful whether administration of selenium in man has any effect on the toxicity of mercuric mercury. However, mercury and selenium were found in the cellular lysozomes in renal tubular cells in two patients with inorganic mercury poisoning [143].
