title: Changes in activities of enzymes in erythrocytes from ddY mice supplemented with dietary selenium.
abstract: Plasma and erythrocyte enzyme activities were measured in ddY mice supplemented with dietary selenium (Se) from baker's yeast (Saccharomyces serevisiae) or selenious acid at 0.3 ppm Se content. Glutathione peroxidase (GSHpx) activities increased significantly in erythrocytes from mice supplemented with dietary Se. It was concluded that addition of dietary Se as food additive is very effective for activation of GSHpx in mice.
