Clinical Significance and Analytical Determination of Trace Amounts of Selenium in Human Blood– Spectrophotometeric Technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
Selenium is an essential trace element that is important in proper immune system functioning and in free radical control. Selenium protects against heart weakness and degeneration. It is crucial for optimal health and detoxification. Selenium is required for the production of thyroid hormones. The body only needs a small amount. Nevertheless, the selenium mineral is an essential mineral which the body requires on a daily basis. The objective of the work concerns the proposal and development of the technique for the measurement of selenium levels in the human blood samples by a simple spectrophotometeric determination in diseased and health conditions.

Evaluation of glutathion peroxidase activity, trace minerals and weight gain following administration of selenium compounds in lambs
Blood selenium and trace minerals play an important role in animal’s health and production. The aims of this study were to determine selenium effect on blood glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity, trace minerals and weight gain in lambs. Twelve female Makuei breed were studied for 63 days in groups of control, nanoselenium (NanoSe) and sodium selenite (NaSe). Mean concentrations of GPX, Cu and ...
متن کاملA Facile Catalytic- Kinetic Method for The Determination of Selenium (IV)
A catalytic-kinetic method for the determination of selenium is proposed. Alizarin navy blue is reduced by sodium sulfide to from a colorless product. The reaction is accelerated by trace amounts of Se (IV), and can be followed by measuring the decrease in absorbance of the dye at 620nm and 30 °C by the fixed time method. Selenium can be determined in the range of 0.004 — 0.12 1.1g.m1-1 . ...

Ion pair dispersive liquid- liquid microextraction (IP-DLLME) method combined with flame atomic absorption spectrometry was proposed for the determination of trace amounts of copper(II). By using pyrocatechol violet as chelating agent and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide as an ion pairing agent, the trace amount of copper(II) was extracted in chloroform. The factors influencing the formation cop...

متن کاملA facile spectrophotometric method for the determination of selenium.
A rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of trace amounts of selenium using Variamine Blue (VB) as a chromogenic reagent. The proposed method is based on the reaction of selenium with potassium iodide in an acidic medium to liberate iodine, which oxidizes Variamine Blue to form a violet-colored species having an absorption maximum at 546 nm. Beer's law ...
