Key message Identification of selenium stress-responsive expression and molecular docking of serine acetyltransferase (SAT) and O -acetyl serine (thiol) lyase (OASTL) in Cardamine hupingshanensis. Abstract A complex coupled with serine acetyltransferase (SAT) and O -acetyl serine (thiol) lyase (OASTL) is the key enzyme that catalyzes selenocysteine (Sec) synthesis in plants. The functions of SAT and OASTL genes were identified...

The diagnosis of goiter is based on the thyroid volume measured by ultrasound in which iodine plays an important role. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the factors that affect thyroid volume and update the reference range of thyroid volume to provide a new basis for the diagnosis and treatment of goiter. A study population from mainland China was evaluated in the Thyroid disorders, Iodine status and Diabetes Epidemiol...
