title: The effects of dietary L-ascorbic acid on the absorption and utilization of Na75SeO3 of silver-treated rats.
abstract: Male hooded lister rats of the Rowett Institute strain, treated with silver in the drinking water, were used to study the effects of L-ascorbic acid on the utilization of Na75SeO3. Silver treatment dramatically decreased the absorption of 75Se from the rat GI tract. An attempt was made to utilize the reducing ability of L-ascorbic acid upon the absorption of 75Se from the rat GI tract. Increasing concentrations of L-ascorbic acid slightly increased the amount of 75Se absorbed from the rat gut.
