Selenium has been shown to inhibit L1210 cells both in vitro and in vivo. The death of L1210 cells in vitro as indicated by trypan blue exclusion was dependent upon the form and con centration of selenium tested. Incubation of L1210 cells in buffer containing selenium at 1 jug/ml for 1 hr prior to inocula tion into mice significantly retarded the ability of the cells to propagate in vivo. Sodiu...

Abstract A total of 3,888 pigs (337×1050, PIC, Hendersonville, TN; 6.0 kg at weaning) were used in a 42-d study to determine the influence Se source on nursery pig selenium status and growth performance. At placement, pens weighed allotted 1 3 dietary treatments randomized complete block design with blocking structure including sow farm origin, date entry, average pen BW. 144 72 double-sided 5-...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects injectable selenium, vitamin E and B1 compounds on serum metabolic profile pregnancy rates (PR) during non-breeding season in Merino ewes that were synchronized with progesterone equine chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG). Thermographic monitoring last day synchronization successful early selection be used artificial insemination its relationshi...

Selenium has been shown to inhibit L1210 cells both in vitro and in vivo. The death of L1210 cells in vitro as indicated by trypan blue exclusion was dependent upon the form and concentration of selenium tested. Incubation of L1210 cells in buffer containing selenium at 1 microgram/ml for 1 hr prior to inoculation into mice significantly retarded the ability of the cells to propagate in vivo. S...

PURPOSE Lenses from selenite-treated animals develop reversible "cold cataract" at a lower temperature than is required for lenses from age-matched control animals. This unexplained, stabilized phase transition is readily observed in intact lenses 36 to 48 hours after treatment and occurs in lenses before the appearance of the irreversible nuclear opacity observed 72 to 96 hours after treatment...

Dibutyltin dichloride (DBTC) is an organotin compound used as model for acute and chronic pancreatitis. Oxidative stress is one of the mechanisms of propagation of acinar cell injury in acute pancreatitis. Selenium is an essential cofactor in the antioxidant glutathione peroxidase pathway. Selenium levels are described to be subnormal in patients with acute and chronic pancreatitis. The aim of ...

Effects of intraperitoneal injections of sodium selenite (2.0 and 4.0 mg/kg body weight) to normally cycling female albino Wistar rats daily for 30 days, and of single injection either during proestrous or oestrous and at each stage of the 4-day oestrous cycle were determined on oestrous cyclicity, ovarian follicles, ovulation, implantation and pregnancy outcome on day 14 of gestation. Administ...

PURPOSE To investigate whether electroacupuncture can prevent selenite-induced cataract in an experimental model. METHODS Fifty Wistar rat pups were randomized into 5 groups of 10 animals: Group 1 (control), no procedure was performed; Group 2 (selenite), sodium selenite (30 micromoles/kg body weight) was injected subcutaneously between postpartum days 10 to 12; Group 3 (anesthesia) received ...
