Abstract: | Two groups of weanling Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a low-selenium basal diet (Se 0.009 mg/kg) and the same diet supplemented
with sodium selenite (Se 0.25 mg/kg), respectively, for 1, 2, and 3 months. At each feeding time, the Ca2+-ATPase activity, Ca2+ uptake rate and the capacity of Ca2+ uptake in isolated cardiac sacroplasmic reticulum from the Se-deficient rats were decreased significantly compared to those
from the Se-supplemented rats, the contents of lipid peroxide in postmitochondrial supernatant and isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum
from the Se-deficient rats were significantly higher than that from Se-supplemented rats. Compared to the Se-supplemented
rats, the cytosolic glutathione peroxidase activity in Se-deficient rats decreased significantly. In addition, significant
linear negative correlations of lipid peroxide in postmitochondrial supernatant to sarcoplasmic reticular Ca2+-ATPase activity, Ca2+ uptake rate and to whole blood selenium concentration were observed.
The results suggest that the enhancement of lipid peroxidation via the depressed glutathione peroxidase activity might be
responsible for the decrease of Ca2+-ATPase and Ca2+ uptake activities in sarcoplasmic reticulum in Se-deficient animals. |
