The sister chromatide exchange rate is inversely related to the Se, Sr, Mn, Cu, and Be trace element nutritional status.
We studied the relationship of the 39 whole blood trace elements and the peripheral lymphocyte sister chromatide exchange (SCE) by factor analysis. Se, Sr, Mn, Cu, and Be were inversely related to SCE, and hence protective against the free radicals.
