Plasma Selenium Concentration

AbstractAt an experimental farm, five camels and five cows were each given a similar basal diet for 6 months. They received oral trace element supplementation for 3 months (day 22 to 112) which included zinc, copper, selenium, manganese, iodine and cobalt and corresponded to twice the daily requirement generally recommended for cows. Plasma selenium concentrations were significantly lower in the camels (20 (s.e. 2) mg/l) compared with the cows (33 (s.e. 2) μg/l). The mineral supplementation induced a large increase in the plasma selenium concentration in the camels which reached 200 (s.e. 35) fig/l. In the cows, the increase was much smaller and did not go beyond 65 (s.e. 8) μg/l. Before supplementation the red blood cell glutathione peroxidase activity was similar in the camel and the cow varying between 4000 and 6000 IU per 100 g haemoglobin. In both species, this activity increased with mineral supplementation and remained very high even when mineral supplementation was stopped. The results suggested that selenium metabolism in camels is different from that in the cows.

Abstract We determined selenium concentrations and activities of the selenoenzyme, glutathione peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.9), in the plasma and erythrocytes of 38 apparently healthy women. We determined selenium concentrations directly by polarized Zeeman-effect flameless atomic absorption spectroscopy. Within-run precision studies for the assays gave CVs of 5.6% for a mean erythrocyte selenium concentration of 149.9 (SD 8.3) microgram/L (n = 10) and 6.4% for a mean plasma selenium concentration of 97.3 (SD 6.2) microgram/L (n = 12). For the women, mean selenium concentrations were 141.4 (SD 14.3) microgram/L of erythrocytes [0.49 (SD 0.07) microgram/g of hemoglobin and 96.3 (SD 14.2) microgram/L of plasma. Glutathione peroxidase activities were measured by a modification of the method of Paglia and Valentine (J. Lab. Clin. Med. 70: 158--169, 1967). Within-run precision studies for the glutathione peroxidase assays gave CVs of 12.8% for mean erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase activity of 77.2 (SD 9.9) U/g of hemoglobin (n = 13), and 8.1% for mean plasma activity of 312.5 (SD 25.2) U/L (n = 11). Mean enzyme activity was 78.7 (SD 12.9) U/g of hemoglobin for erythrocytes and 424 (SD 40) U/L for plasma. Erythrocyte selenium concentrations and glutathione peroxidase activities were positively, but poorly, correlated (r = 0.41, p less than 0.01).

Glutathione peroxidase-3 (Gpx3), also known as plasma or extracellular glutathione peroxidase, is a selenoprotein secreted primarily by kidney proximal convoluted tubule cells. In this study Gpx3−/−mice have been produced and immunocytochemical techniques have been developed to investigate Gpx3 metabolism. Gpx3−/−mice maintained the same whole-body content and urinary excretion of selenium as did Gpx3+/+mice. They tolerated selenium deficiency without observable ill effects. The simultaneous knockout of Gpx3 and selenoprotein P revealed that these two selenoproteins account for >97% of plasma selenium. Immunocytochemistry experiments demonstrated that Gpx3 binds selectively, both in vivo and in vitro, to basement membranes of renal cortical proximal and distal convoluted tubules. Based on calculations using selenium content, the kidney pool of Gpx3 is over twice as large as the plasma pool. These data indicate that Gpx3 does not serve in the regulation of selenium metabolism. The specific binding of a large pool of Gpx3 to basement membranes in the kidney cortex strongly suggests a need for glutathione peroxidase activity in the cortical peritubular space.
