Abstract: | This study evaluated selenium status in relation to lipid peroxidation, liver microsomal function, and serum lipids in humans. Serum selenium concentration, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity, liver microsomal enzyme activity, assessed by plasma antipyrine clearance (AP-CL) rate, and serum lipids were determined in 23 healthy subjects in a double-blind placebo-controlled trial of selenium supplementation. The low selenium concentration (74.0±14.2 μg/L, mean±SD) is attributable to the low selenium content of the diet. Subjects with the lowest selenium levels (n=11) had reduced serum GSH-Px activity, AP-CL rate, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and total cholesterol (T-C) as compared with subjects with higher selenium concentrations (n=12). Low AP-CL rates were associated with low HDL-C: T-C ratios. Selenium supplementation, 96 μg/d for 2 wk, increased serum selenium, GSH-Px activity, and the HDL-C: T-C ratio. The results suggest that a low serum selenium level is associated with a decrease in liver microsomal enzyme activity and serum HDL-C and T-C concentrations. Selenium supplementation in subjects with low serum selenium may favorably influence relations between serum lipoproteins connected with the development of atherosclerotic vascular disease. |
