title: Selenium status and effect of selenium supplementation in a group of elderly women.
abstract: Plasma selenium was determined in 92 elderly women: a marked decrease was observed from the age of 65 years. Se-status in 20 elderly women was explored by investigation of the effects of 30 days' Se-supplementation with enriched tablets (Selevit-E) 66 micrograms per day. Serial determination was performed for Se plasma, e-GSH-Px (glutathione peroxidase), MDA (malondialdehyde) and Vitamin E. Significant changes were observed in Se, e-GSH-Px and MDA.
