Sprague-Dawley rats were used to investigate variations in measures of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and selenium (Se) concentration resulting from diurnal cycles and sex. Mature rats (equal numbers of males and females) were killed at 4 h intervals over a 48 h period (0200, 0600, 1000, 1800 and 2200 h each day). Selenium and GSH-Px were measured in plasma, erythrocytes, and liver and kidney cytosols. Selenium concentrations did not vary diurnally, but plasma GSH-Px activities were higher during the light than dark periods. Males had greater plasma GSH-Px activities and Se concentrations (42 EU and .45 mg/kg, respectively) than females (35 EU and .41 mg/kg respectively). GSH-Px activities were also higher in male kidney cytosols than females (117 and 76 EU, respectively). Selenium and GSH-Px activities, however, were lower in male liver cytosols (.48 mg/kg and 272 EU) than females (1.19 mg/kg and 795 EU, respectively). These data suggest that Se is distributed differently in male and female rats and the difference in Se distribution is accomplished by differences in GSH-Px activities. 相似文献

To clarify the relationship between selenium (Se) deficiency and functional disorders, the authors determined the Se concentration,
anti-oxidant enzyme activity, and other parameters in rats fed a Se-deficient diet. Rats fed the Se-deficient diet showed
a decrease in Se concentration and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in plasma, erythrocytes, heart, liver, and skeletal
muscle from the first week after the initiation of the diet, an increase in heart lipid peroxide concentration from the second
week, and an increase in liver glutathione S-transferase activity from the fourth week. From the twelfth week, a decrease
in the growth rate in the rats fed the Se-deficient diet was observed. In spite of this growth impairment, no changes in electrocardiogram,
muscle tone, degree of hemolysis, plasma biochemistry, or hematological values were detected. In summary, the authors found
that a reduction of body Se is easily induced, but that the appearance of functional disorders following Se deficiency is
difficult to detect in rats. 相似文献

The effect of vitamin B6 on the levels of tissue selenium (Se) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) was studied. Male Wistar 4-week-old rats were fed a vitamin B6-Se-deficient basal diet for 2 weeks, then divided into 10 groups of five or six rats and fed their respective diets for 4 weeks. The experimental design was a 2×2×2 factorial with two levels of vitamin B6, two forms of Se, and two levels of Se, plus two extra groups (vitamin B6-supplemented and deficient without Se). Vitamin B6 was 0 and 250 μg pyridoxine-HCl/100 g of diet; Se forms were Na2SeO3 and DL-selenomethionine; Se levels were 0.5 and 5.0 mg Se/kg of diet. Regardless of form or level of Se, vitamin B6-deficient rats had lower body weights and organ weights than vitamin B6-supplemented rats. At 5.0 mg Se/kg of diet, Na2SeO3 caused a further depression. Vitamin B6 deficiency resulted in a higher Se level and GSH-Px activity in plasma of rats fed selenomethionine. However, Se content an GSH-Px activity in erythrocytes were significantly elevated in vitamin B6-supplemented rats compared with vitamin B6-deficient rats. Se levels in muscle and heart were significantly lower in vitamin B6-deficient groups fed Na2SeO3 than in vitamin B6-supplemented groups. Vitamin B6-deficient rats fed selenomethionine had higher Se levels in muscle, heart, spleen, liver, and kidneys than vitamin B6-supplemented rats. Activity of GSH-Px in muscle, heart, and spleen was significantly lower in vitamin B6-deficient groups than in vitamin B6-supplemented groups, regardless of form of Se. A significant decrease of GSH-Px in liver was observed in vitamin B6-deficient rats fed selenomethionine compared with vitamin B6-supplemented rats, whereas no significant decrease was observed in those fed Na2SeO3. These results suggest that vitamin B6 is involved in the distribution and transportation of Se in body and the metabolism of selenomethionine in liver. 相似文献

Cytosolic activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), selenium-independent GSH-Px, and catalase, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and glutathione and selenium (Se) concentration were measured in ocular tissues of rats maintained on a low (0.05 ppm) or adequate (0.10 ppm) Se diet and treated with 0 or 25 ppm cadmium (Cd) in their drinking water for fourteen weeks. Feeding rats a low Se diet resulted in a significant decrease in GSH-Px activity when compared to rats maintained on adequate dietary Se, irrespective of Cd treatment. Se-independent GSH-Px activity of rats maintained at 0.05 ppm Se decreased 27% when compared to Se-adequate controls, whereas activity increased 38% in the Cd-treated low-Se group. When comparisons were made between ocular TBARS in rats maintained at either level of dietary Se and treated with 0 or 25 ppm Cd, a trend toward decreased amounts of TBARS in Cd-treated groups was observed. A significant decrease in ocular Se concentration occurred in rats fed 0.05 ppm Se when compared to the Se-adequate group. Administering Cd to the low-Se group increased ocular Se levels 100%. A negative correlation between ocular Se concentration and TBARS was observed, suggesting a possible alternate role for Se as an antioxidant in the eye. 相似文献

Essentiality of selenium (Se) for Japanese quail,Coturnix coturnix japonica, was confirmed using a formulated semipurified low-Se diet (basal) (0.05 ppm). Selenium-deficiency symptoms appeared in quails
on this diet within 15 d, which corresponded to low levels of hemolysate glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity. Selenium
administration at 0.05 and 2.0 ppm levels resulted in an increase of hemolysate GSH-Px activity by 64 and 116%, respectively,
in both short- and long-term experiments. Growth over a 2-mo period increased the hemolysate GSH-Px activity by 120% at each
level of dietary Se. A differential response was exhibited by hepatic mitochondrial and soluble GSH-Px activity to Se supplementation,
the former increasing progressively with increments of Se at 0.05, 2.0, and 4.0 ppm by 45, 70 and 150%, respectively. The
soluble GSH-Px activities of tissues, such as liver, kidney, and testis, and RBC membrane-bound activity remained unchanged
in long-term studies at different levels of Se. Replenishment of Se to quails maintained on low-Se diets reflected no change
in RBC membrane-bound and liver-soluble GSH-Px activities, although the activity in hemolysate increased consistently with
Se. The GSH-Px activity in hemolysate was restored to the levels comparable to those of long-term studies only at Se administration
at the 2.0-ppm level. The differential response of mitochondrial and soluble GSH-Px activities to Se and other related observations
on mitochondrial functions suggest an additional role for Se in mitochondrial membrane processes and glutathione-related metabolic
regulations. 相似文献

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element and the clinical consequences of Se deficiency have been well-documented. Se is primarily obtained through the diet and recent studies have suggested that the level of Se in Australian foods is declining. Currently there is limited data on the Se status of the Australian population so the aim of this study was to determine the plasma concentration of Se and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), a well-established biomarker of Se status. Furthermore, the effect of gender, age and presence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) was also examined. Blood plasma samples from healthy subjects (140 samples, mean age = 54 years; range, 20-86 years) and CVD patients (112 samples, mean age = 67 years; range, 40-87 years) were analysed for Se concentration and GSH-Px activity. The results revealed that the healthy Australian cohort had a mean plasma Se level of 100.2 +/- 1.3 microg Se/L and a mean GSH-Px activity of 108.8 +/- 1.7 U/L. Although the mean value for plasma Se reached the level required for optimal GSH-Px activity (i.e. 100 microg Se/L), 47% of the healthy individuals tested fell below this level. Further evaluation revealed that certain age groups were more at risk of a lowered Se status, in particular, the oldest age group of over 81 years (females = 97.6 +/- 6.1 microg Se/L; males = 89.4 +/- 3.8 microg Se/L). The difference in Se status between males and females was not found to be significant. The presence of CVD did not appear to influence Se status, with the exception of the over 81 age group, which showed a trend for a further decline in Se status with disease (plasma Se, 93.5 +/- 3.6 microg Se/L for healthy versus 88.2 +/- 5.3 microg Se/L for CVD; plasma GSH-Px, 98.3 +/- 3.9 U/L for healthy versus 87.0 +/- 6.5 U/L for CVD). These findings emphasise the importance of an adequate dietary intake of Se for the maintenance of a healthy ageing population, especially in terms of cardiovascular health. 相似文献

The uptake of dietary selenium (about 3.5 mg/kg AF dry wt) as selenomethionine, selenocystine, selenite, selenate, and fish selenium in the plasma and red blood cells (RBC) of the oystercatcher has been investigated. The birds received the various selenium compounds subsequently, for at least 9 wk. After dietary supplementation of selenocystine, selenite, and selenate, plasma selenium was about 350 μg/L and RBC selenium 2.1 mg/kg dry wt. After supplementation of selenomethionine, the plasma concentration increased to 630 μg/L, and the RBC concentration to 4.1 mg/kg dry wt. When the fodder contained 3.1 mg/kg fish Se, an average plasma and RBC concentration of 415 μg/L and 14.4 mg/kg dry wt, respectively, was measured. The maximal increase of the selenium concentration in the plasma was attained at first sampling, 14 d after a change in dietary selenium (selenomethione or fish Se); the uptake seemed to be a concentration-regulated process. RBC concentrations (γ in mg/kg dry wt) increased with time (X in d) according toY=a?be?cX . Fifty percent of the total increase was attained within 17d, suggesting that diffusion into the RBC played a role. The selenium concentration in the plasma was positively correlated with the (fish) Se concentration in the fodder; the RBC concentration (60 d after the change in diet) was positively correlated with the plasma concentration. When the diet contained fish Se, the blood selenium concentrations of the captive birds were similar to the concentrations measured in field birds. Fish Se is a yet undetermined selenium compound. The present experiment showed that fish Se differed from selenomethionine, selenocystine, selenite, or selenate in uptake from the food and uptake in the RBC. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to determine the protective effects of intraperitoneally administered vitamin E and selenium (as
Na2SeO3, Se) on the lipid peroxidation as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and vitamin E levels, glutathione peroxidase
(GSH-Px), reduced glutathione (GSH) activities in the plasma, red blood cell (RBC), liver, and muscle of rats with streptozotocin-induced
diabetes. Fifty adult male Wistar rats were used and all rats were randomly divided into five groups. The first group was
used as a control and the second group as a diabetic control. A placebo was given to first and second groups by injection.
The third group was intraperitoneally administered with vitamin E (20 mg over 24 h), the fourth group with Se (0.3 mg over
24 h), and the fifth group with vitamin E and Se combination (COM) (20 mg vitamin E + 0.3 mg Se over 24 h). This administration
was done for 25 days and the TBARS, vitamin E, GSH-Px, GSH levels in the plasma, RBC, liver, and muscle samples were determined.
The vitamin E level in the plasma and liver was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in the control than in the diabetic control group. Also, the TBARS levels in the RBC, liver, and muscle were
significantly (p < 0.05) lower in the control than in the diabetic control group. However, GSH-Px and GSH activities in RBC, liver, and muscle
were not statistically different between the control and the diabetic control groups. The vitamin E levels in plasma and liver
(p < 0.01 and p < 0.001) and GSH-Px activities (p < 0.01, p < 0.001) in RBC were significantly higher in vitamin E, Se, and COM groups than in both control and diabetic control groups.
However, the TBARS levels of RBC, muscle, and liver in vitamin E and Se administered groups were significantly (p < 0.05-p < 0.001, respectively) decreased. These results indicate that intraperitoneally administered vitamin E and Se have significant
protective effects on the blood, liver, and muscle against oxidative damage of diabetes.

Groups af White Leghorn chicks obtained from dams deprived on selenium (Se), were fed from hatching a low-Se-vitamin E basal diet alone, or supplemented with 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 or 0.08 mg Se/kg diet, as sodium selenite (Na2SeO3 · 5H2O), wheat, barley or fish meal. Prevention of the Se-vitamin E deficiency responsive disease exudative diathesis (ED) as it was clinical observed, induction of the plasma Se dependent enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity, and Se concentration in the cardiac muscle were observed to be dietary Se level and source dependent. Slope ratio assay was applied to estimate the biological availability of Se in the natural sources relative to Se in sodium selenite. For the prevention of ED, the bioavailability of Se in wheat, barley and fish meal was 99, 85 and 80 %, respectively. The increase in the plasma GSH-Px activity revealed a bioavailability for Se in wheat, barley and fish meal of 79, 71 and 66 %, respectively. Using retention of Se in the cardiac muscle as the bioassay, a bioavailability of 108, 87 and 100 % was calculated for wheat, barley and fish meal Se, respectively. 相似文献

Patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) often have reduced concentrations of selenium (Se) and lowered activities of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in blood components. The kidney is a major source of plasma GSH-Px. We measured Se and glutathione levels in blood components and red cell and plasma GSH-Px activities in 58 uremic patients on regular (3 times a week) hemodialysis (HD). The dialyzed patients were divided in 4 subgroups and were supplemented for 3 months with: 1) placebo (bakers yeast), 2) erythropoietin (EPO; 3 times a week with 2,000 U after each HD session), 3) Se-rich yeast (300 μg 3 times a week after each HD), and 4) Se-rich yeast plus EPO in doses as above. The results were compared with those for 25 healthy subjects. The Se concentrations and GSH-Px activities in the blood components of dialyzed uremic patients were significantly lower compared with the control group. Treatment of the HD patients with placebo and EPO only did not change the parameters studied. The treatment with Se as well as with Se and EPO caused an increase in Se levels and red cell GSH-Px activity. Plasma GSH-Px activity, however, increased only slowly or did not change after treatment with Se and with Se plus EPO. In the group treated with Se plus EPO the element concentration in blood components was higher compared with the group supplemented with Se alone. The weak or absence of response in plasma GSH-Px activity to Se supply indicates that the impaired kidney of uremic HD patients has reduced possibilities to synthesize this enzyme. 相似文献

In this study we determined the possible effects of age, sex, and race on selenium (Se) concentration in plasma and erythrocytes and on glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in erythrocytes. Two hundred six healthy blacks, whites, males, and females ranging in age from 11 to 60 yr were studied. For the entire population, mean±SDM Se concentrations were 0.104±0.021 μg/mL for plasma and 0.158±0.035 μg/mL for erythrocytes. Mean concentration of Se in plasma was higher in white subjects compared to black subjects (P<0.02). This difference was due exclusively to higher values in young adult white males (age, race, sex interaction). Neither plasma nor erythrocyte Se concentration nor erythrocyte GSH-Px activity were otherwise affected by age. In all groups plasma Se was correlated with erythrocyte Se (P<0.001), but not with glutathione peroxidase. Erythrocyte Se also was correlated inversely with years of smoking (P<0.033) and coffee intake (p<0.01). These results have defined the Se status in this healthy population in Augusta, Georgia as below the reported US mean. The factors underlying the age, race, sex interaction and the health significance of the low Se status in this population should be investigated. 相似文献

The in vivo bioavailability of Se was investigated in enriched Pleurotus ostreatus mushrooms. A bioavailability study was performed using 64 Wistar male rats separated in 8 groups and fed with different diets: without Se, with mushrooms without Se, with enriched mushrooms containing 0.15, 0.30 or 0.45 mg kg(-1) Se and a normal diet containing 0.15 mg kg(-1) of Se using sodium selenate. The experiment was performed in two periods: depletion (14 days) and repletion (21 days), according to the Association of Official Analytical Chemists. After five weeks, the rats were sacrificed under carbon dioxide, and blood was drawn by heart puncture. Blood plasma was separated by centrifugation. The total Se concentration in the plasma of rats fed with enriched mushrooms was higher than in rats fed with a normal diet containing sodium selenate. The plasma protein profiles were obtained using size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and UV detectors. Aliquots of effluents (0.5 mL per minute) were collected throughout in the end of the chromatographic column. However, Se was determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF AAS) only in the aliquots where proteins were detected by SEC-UV. The plasma protein profile of rats fed with different diets was similar. The highest Se concentration was observed in a peptide presenting 8 kDa. Furthermore, the higher Se concentration in this peptide was obtained for rats fed with a diet using enriched mushrooms (7 μg L(-1) Se) compared to other diets (2-5 μg L(-1) Se). These results showed that Se-enriched mushrooms can be considered as an alternative Se food source for humans, due to their high bioavailability. 相似文献

To clarify the mineral status in selenium (Se)-deficient rats fed a vitamin-free casein (VFC)-based or torula yeast (TY)-based
diet, 24 weanling male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups fed diets using VFC or TY as the protein source and containing
Se at sufficient (0.5 μg/g,+Se) or deficient (0.019 μg/g for VFC-based and <0.005 μg/g for TY-based diets,−Se) level for 8 wk. TY supplied a larger amount of extra minerals (Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu) except Se than VFC.
Se concentration and glutathione peroxidase activity were significantly lower in TY-fed rats than in VFC-fed rats, as well
as in−Se rats compared to+Se rats. Compared to+Se rats, Fe concentration was higher in liver and muscle of−Se rats fed the VFC-based diet and in plasma, heart, liver, and tibia of−Se rats fed the TY-based diet. Compared to+Se rats, decreases of Mn concentration appeared in plasma, heart, and tibia of VFC-fed−Se rats and in brain, heart, liver and tibia of TY-fed−Se rats. There was also a little imbalance in Ca, Mg, Na, K, and Cu caused by Se deficiency. The results indicated that Se
deficiency induced the mineral imbalance in rats, especially an increase in Fe and decrease in Mn, which was more severe in
TY-fed rats than VFC-fed rats. However, TY cannot be used as a model for both Se and other mineral deficiency because of the
extra minerals except Se found in TY. Instead, VFC can be employed, which contains fewer minerals except Se than TY and also
can produce a severe degree of Se deficiency. 相似文献

The effect of selenium (Se) on collagen characteristics and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in the skin of Japanese
quailsCoturnix coturnix japonica fed a formulated, semipurified, low-Se diet (basal) (0.05 ppm) was investigated. The quails exhibited severe Se-deficiency
symptoms and significant reduction in skin GSH-Px activity at the end of 30 d. Selenium supplementation at a 2-ppm level restored
the normal skin conditions and enhanced skin GSH-Px activity significantly. But a dietary Se level of 0.1 ppm was found to
be inadequate in restoring the general skin conditions and GSH-Px activity. A markedly low total collagen content of about
23% was observed in the skin of quails fed the basal diet, compared to 39% of total collagen content in the skin of the 2-ppm
Se-supplemented group. Molecular organization of skin collagen of quails on the basal and 0.1-ppm Se diet showed an abundance
of monomeric forms with less crosslinks, compared to the presence of polymeric forms with more crosslinks, indicating enhanced
stability in the skin collagen of quails on the 2-ppm diet. The delay in the in vitro fibril formation of collagen from the
basal and 0.1-ppm Se groups, compared to a relatively faster rate in the case of the 2-ppm Se group, indicates a disturbance
in the aggregation phenomenon of collagen. The increase in skin GSH-Px activity and concurrent increase in polymeric collagen
on increasing the dietary Se level suggest a possible role for Se in collagen metabolism. 相似文献

The relation between selenium, zinc and copper concentration and the trace element dependent antioxidative status. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

An imbalance in the antioxidative system was connected with the development of a number of pathological processes. In order to receive values of a healthy group and to evaluate pathological changes of the trace element dependent antioxidative status in future, we investigated 99 healthy volunteers (45 male and 54 female, mean age 37.4 +/- 11.7 years). We determined the concentrations of Se, Cu and Zn, the concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA) and the activities of the Se dependent glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and the Zn/Cu dependent superoxide dismutase (SOD). The plasma concentrations (mean +/- SD) for Se, Cu and Zn were 0.84 +/- 0.10 micromol/l, 15.6 +/- 2.78 micromol/l and 12.6 +/- 1.80 micromol/l, resp., and for non protein-bound and protein bound MDA 0.27 +/- 0.07 micromol/l and 1.11 +/- 0.25 micromol/l, resp. The activity of GSH-Px in plasma and erythrocytes was 130 +/- 20.8 U/l and 19.8 +/- 4.18 U/mg Hb, resp. and of SOD in erythrocytes 3,159 +/- 847.2 U/g Hb. In plasma positive correlations have been found between Se concentrations and GSH-Px activities (p < 0.002, r = 0.31) and between GSH-Px activities and concentrations of non protein-bound MDA (p = 0.004, r = 0.28). A negative correlation has been observed between GSH-Px activities in plasma and in erythrocytes. The higher the concentrations of Cu in erythrocytes, the higher were the activities of SOD (p = 0.03, r = 0.22) and GSH-Px in erythrocytes (r = 0.26, p = 0.01), while an increasing activity of GSH-Px in these cells correlated with a decreasing concentration of non protein-bound MDA (r = -0,31, p = 0.002). An increase in BMI was connected with an increase in protein-bound MDA and a decrease in GSH-Px activities in pLasma (p = 0.002 and r = 0.23). As the results demonstrate, Se and Cu concentrations in erythrocytes can improve the trace element dependent antioxidative status. 相似文献

Twenty-one 6 months old female lambs were divided into 7 groups and fed a basal diet containing 0.13 mg Se/kg. The basal diet was further supplemented with 0, 0.1, 0.5 or 1.0 mg Se/kg either as sodium selenite or as selenomethionine, and was fed for 10 weeks. Both feed additives produced an increase in the selenium concentration in the tissues analysed. Significant correlations were found between the concentrations of selenomethionine or sodium selenite added to the feed and the subsequent tissue levels. However, the selenium levels seemed to plateau at approximately 0.5 mg Se/kg of supplemented sodium selenite. The total glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity of the tissues increased when the selenium supplementation increased from 0 to 0.1 mg/kg for both selenium compounds. With further increase in selenium supplementation the GSH-Px activity in the tissues plateaued except in the blood where the activity continued to rise with increasing selenomethionine supplementation. The selenium dependent GSH-Px activity in the liver rose with increasing selenomethionine supplementation, but approached a plateau when 0.1 mg Se/kg as sodium selenite was added to the feed. The selenium concentration in whole blood responded more rapidly to the selenium supplementation than did GSH-Px activity. The experiment indicates that the optimal selenium concentration in the feed is considerably higher than 0.1 mg Se/kg, and that selenium levels of 1.0 mg/kg in the feed do not result in any risk for the animals or the consumers of the products. 相似文献

Patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) usually have a lower than healthy level of selenium (Se) in whole blood and plasma.
Plasma glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) is synthesized mostly in the kidney. In CRF patients, activity of this enzyme is significantly
reduced and its reduction increases with the progress of the disease. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of Se
supplementation to CRF patients at various stages of the disease on Se concentration in blood components and on plasma GSH-Px
activity.
The study group comprised 53 CRF patients at various stages of the disease supplemented with Se (200 μg/d for 3 mo as Se-enriched
yeast, containing about 70% l-selenomethionine [SeMet]). The control group consisted of 20 healthy subjects. The Se concentration in blood components was
measured spectrofluorometrically with 2,3-diaminonaphthalene as a complexing reagent. GSH-Px activity in red cell hemolysates
and plasma was assayed by the coupled method with tert-butyl hydroperoxide as a substrate.
The Se concentration in whole blood and plasma of CRF patients is significantly lower as compared with healthy subjects, but
similar at all stages of the disease. In the patients’ plasma, total protein and albumin levels are also significantly lower
than in healthy subjects. Plasma GSH-Px activity in patients is extremely low, and contrary to Se concentration, it decreases
linearly with the increasing stage of the illness. Se-supplied patients show an increased Se concentration in all blood components
and at all disease stages, whereas plasma GSH-Px activity is enhanced only at the incipient stage of the disease. Se supply
has no effect on plasma GSH-Px activity in uremic patients at the end stage of the disease. Total plasma protein and albumin
levels did not change after Se supplementation. Our data seem to show that in patients with CRF lower total protein and albumin
levels in plasma may be the chief cause of the low blood and plasma Se concentrations. GSH-Px activity decreases along with
the kidney impairment. At the end stage of the disease, Se supplementation in the form of Se-enriched yeast has no effect
on the increase in plasma GSH-Px activity. 相似文献

The knowledge about Se bioavailability from animal food is sparse. This study was therefore initiated in order to evaluate the bioavailability of Se from pork meat in humans. Twelve male volunteers (age 21–30 years) participated in a randomised crossover study with strictly controlled diet containing 170 g pig meat/10 MJ per day and 106 ± 13 g Se/d for 3 × 3 weeks. Complete faecal and urinary collections were made during the last week of each period. Bioavailability was evaluated from absorption and retention of Se and changes in plasma Se concentration and blood glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) activity. The apparent absorption of Se was 94 ± 2% (100 ± 13 g/d). Faecal and urinary excretion were 7 ± 1 g/d and 39 ± 21 g/d, respectively, resulting in a retention of 61 ± 24 g/d. The diet intervention did not affect plasma Se concentration and GSHPx activity. Absorption and retention of Se from pig meat were high suggesting a high availability. However, the availability of pig meat Se for blood Se protein appears to be low. 相似文献
