SELENATE ION is a compound containing an oxoanion with selenium in its highest oxidation state of VI. Selenates are analogous to sulfates and have similar chemistry, but unlike sulfate, selenate is a good oxidizer. Selenate is the form required by organisms that need selenium as a micronutrient. These organisms have the ability to acquire, metabolize and excrete selenium. The level at which selenium becomes toxic varies from species to species and is related to other environmental factors like pH and alkalinity that influence the concentration of selenite over selenate. Selenate and other forms of selenium are highest in areas where ancient seas have evaporated. These areas are enriched in selenium and over millennia, biologic adaptation has occurred.

N2aSW cell viability was detected by the CCK-8 assay. Briefly, N2aSW cells (5X10^3 per well) exposed to sodium selenate at a set of concentrations (0.00001, 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 mmol/L in FBS-free medium) were grown in 96-well-plates for 24 h. 10% CCK-8 reagent was added to each well and the cells were incubated at 37°C for another 2 h. Cells without sodium selenate treatment were used as the control. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured with a reference wavelength of 650 nm by SpecTRA MAX 190 microplate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). All experiments were performed in triplicates.
