Creator:: Fischer, William Carl
Abstract:: Selenium deficiency in rats results in increased carbon metabolism, approaching twice the rate of selenium supplemented animals (normal). This is also reflected in a 50 percent increase in lysosomal enzyme activity in tissues of selenium deficient animals. Isolation of rat liver lysosomes shows a 17 percent increase in membrane thickness...

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...

Creator:: Yeh, Jan-ying
Abstract:: The objective of our study was to investigate the effect of selenium on selenoprotein W. Western blot analysis indicated that selenoprotein W is present in muscle, brain, testis and spleen of rat tissues. Tissue distribution of selenoprotein W was not altered in rats fed various selenium levels. Among muscle, brain,...

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...

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....

Creator:: Sun, Yu, 1963-
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to further determine the distribution of selenoprotein W (SeW) in tissues from rats and sheep fed different selenium levels and to search for the possible functions of this protein. In the rat study a total of 28 rat tissues were examined and SeW was...

Creator:: Alabi, Nathaniel Sigismund
Abstract:: Studies were conducted to investigate the metabolism of selenium (Se) , and the influences of Se on the metabolism of cadmium (Cd) and inorganic mercury (Hg) in rats, and in ram semen in vitro. Se-deficient (-Se) or Se-adequate (+Se) rats were injected intraperitoneally with either ¹⁰⁹CdCl₂ (5 μCi/rat) or ²⁰³HgN0₃...
