title: [Concentration of selenium in nutrition and blood serum of diabetic children and adolescents].
abstract: During 6 days the food of 7 patients of an instruction center for juvenile diabetics contained 60.94 +/- 2.87 micrograms selenium/day. Thereafter the serum selenium concentration was 91.24 +/- 8.57 ng/ml. The corresponding figures for 9 controls of the same age (pupils of a boarding school) were 35.90 +/- 12.24 micrograms selenium/day and 60.94 +/- 10.07 ng/ml, respectively. The differences are the result of the diabetic diet containing more proteins rich in selenium than the food of the controls.
