Abstract:
The effect of Vitamin E on the metabolism of selenium in weaning Wistar rats raised with low selenium and low vitamin E Keshan disease diet and with the basal diet supplemented with selenium and/or a-tocopherol acetate was investigated. The results showed that:(1)On the same level of selenium in the diets, a-tocopherol supplemented to the diets might increase the selenium level of liver. No significant effect was found in other organs.(2)Whether the selenium was deficient in the diet or not, the GSHPx activities in blood, heart and liver of vitamin E deficient animals were lower than that of animals supplemented with vitamin E.(3)Supplementation of vitamin E to the diet decreased the selenium excretion in urine, and increased the selenium retention in tissues both in selenium deficient group and in selenium supplemented group.
