Abstract:
The dried yeast (Saccharomyces ceaerevisiae) containing 500mg selenium/g was used in this study. The rabbits received yeast solution containing Selenium with doses of 20 and 40 mg/kg b.w per os daily in a course of 30 days consecutive. The experimental results showed that this selenium solution with above doses did not change significantly serum Transaminase, Cholesterol, Bilirubin and creatinin levels in comparison with the control group which received the solvent only. This solution did not damage the grossanatomy of liver, kidney, adrenal gland, pancreas, heart, lung and gastrointestine, but it damaged slightly the microstructure of liver and kidney of about 31% rabbits administrated selenium in doses of 20 and 40mg/kg b.w.
