Abstract
Abstract Rats differing in selenium status were injected with a mixture of 75Se-selenomethionine and 35S-methionine. The low-selenium animals showed higher 75Se/35S ratios in all tissue samples except fat. The distribution of 75Se and 35S in proteins separated by gel filtration from liver and kidney supernatants was similar for the two groups of animals. Only plasma showed a difference in the protein distribution of 75Se, the low-selenium animals having a significantly higher specific activity of 75Se than the high-selenium animals. The distribution of selenomethionine in plasma proteins from rats differing in selenium status differed from that shown previously with injected selenite.
