title: [Dietary prophylaxis of selenium deficiency].
abstract: By studying the specific features of selenium exchange in subjects with equal dietary selenium intakes, but with different contents of methionine, the authors have established that the diet containing the optimum methionine level has a pronounced selenium-sparing effect and may be used as one of the modes to prevent selenium deficiency states in the areas having insufficient environmental selenium levels.
