ABSTRACT
An explanation of the functions of both vitamin E and selenium in metabolism and an account of the correlations between them is followed by reference to the results obtained by the authors of this paper from studies into the effects of dl-alpha-tocopherol on selenium levels in the M. longissimus dorsi, blood, and liver as well as on the activity of glutathione-peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.9) in erythrocytes of rabbit and rat, following application of therapeutic doses of selenium (0.5 mg/kg live weight). In both species selenium application increased the glutathione-peroxidase activity in erythrocytes. Vitamin E had no additional effect. Application of selenium was followed by rise in intraorganic selenium concentrations. In rabbit, the effect of vitamin T on intraorganic distribution of selenium caused an increased of the selenium level in the liver, but not in the muscles. No vitamin E effect was recordable in the rat. The findings are discussed, with conclusions being suggested for the treatment of metabolic disorders in the context of selenium and vitamin E and for non-invasive liver therapy.
