  • The effect of selenium deficiency on the fatty acid metabolism of rats and lambs

    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...

  • 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...
