克山病病区青少年对硒酵母硒的生物利用率

为探讨国产硒酵母硒在低硒人体的生物利用率,将克山病病区52例青少年随机分成3组,分别每日口服硒酵母硒200μg、亚硒酸钠硒200μg和普通酵母片共12周。于服硒前、服硒4和8周以及停硒8周时,采血测定硒含量和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH_(PX))活性。结果表明:①硒酵母硒在血浆和红细胞积蓄明显高于亚硒酸钠;②硒酵母硒在提高和维持血小板GSH_(PX)活性上优于亚硒酸钠;③以红细胞和血浆硒积蓄为指标时,硒酵母硒的相对生物利用率分别为556%和178%;以血小板和血浆GSH_(PX)活性为指标时,硒酵母硒的相对生物利用率分别为158%和116%。说明克山病病区低硒青少年对硒酵母硒的生物利用率高于亚硒酸钠。

BIOAVAILABILITY OF SELENIUM IN SELENIUM-YEAST TO YOUNG RESIDENTS IN A KESHAN DISEASE AREA

Abstract To evaluate the bioavailability of selenium (Se) in Se-yeast to residents with low-Se status, fifty-two youth in a Keshan disease area were randomly divided into three groups, and they were given orally 200 μg Se daily as So-yeast or sodium selenite, or ordinary yeast for 12 weeks, respectively. Se contents and activities of glutathione peroxidase (GSHpx) in blood were measured at wk 4 and 8 of supplements and 8wk alter the supplements were discontinued. The results show that: 1. the retention of Se in either plasma or erythrocyte is sigificantly higher in Se-yeast than in sodiurn selenite; 2 the effect of Se in Se-yeast is superior to that of sodium selenite for maintaining GSHpx activities; and 3. the relative bioavailabilities of Se in Se-yeast are 556% and 178% when using erythrocyte and plasma Se contents as the response critria, as well as 158% and 116% when estimated by platelet and plasma GSHpx activities. The results indicate that the bioavailability of Se to the residents in a low-Se Keshan disease area is greater when supplemented Se-yeast than selenite.
