The effect of food processing on the bioavailability of selenium in tuna and wheat : human and rat studies

Creator:

Alexander, Anne Rose

Abstract:

Bioavailability of selenium (Se) in processed tuna and wheat products was studied in humans and rats. The protein source of the rat diets was torula yeast with Se supplied by either raw, precooked or canned tuna, or whole wheat flour, bread or bran. Sodium selenite was used as a control....

Selenium metabolism in the chick and effects of Vitamin E and selenium on heat stress

Creator:

Alayan, Mohammad Atta

Abstract:

An in vitro study was conducted to investigate the metabolism and distribution of Se⁷⁵-selenite and Se⁷⁵-selenomethionine (SEM) in chick blood. Se⁷⁵-selenite is taken up by RBC (13% within 20 minutes) and expelled into the plasma to become bound to proteins. In contrast, Se⁷⁵-SEM showed a more gradual and continuous buildup...

Selenoprotein W : Purification and characterization of its interaction with calmodulin

Creator:

Bauman, Andrew Thomas

Abstract:

Selenoprotein W (SeW) is a protein whose function is unknown, but potentially plays a vital role in calcium metabolism, as an indirect link has been established with white muscle disease (WMD). White muscle disease occurs in selenium deficient animals, and is characterized by the precipitation of calcium in muscle, leading...
