Abstract: | Starting at 21 days of age, groups of six rats each were fed a basal Torula yeast diet supplemented with 0,4% L-methionine
and varying amounts of vitamin E as dl-alpha tocopherol acetate, selenium as sodium selenite, and with either 10% stripped
corn oil, stripped lard, or coconut oil. By 7 wk, pentane production by rats fed a corn oil diet deficient in both vitamin
E and selenium was twice that by rats fed 0.1 or 1 mg of selenium per kg of the same basal diet. Blood glutathione peroxidase
activity after 7 wk was proportional to the logarithm of dietary selenium. Groups of rats fed the vitamin E- and selenium-deficient
diets with lard or coconut oil had one-half the pentane production of rats fed the vitamin E- and selenium-deficient corn
oil diets. The plasma level of linoleic plus arachidonic acid was 1.8 times greater on a wt % basis in rats fed corn oil than
in rats fed lard or coconut oil as the fat source. Pentane production by rats fed 40 i.u. dl-alpha tocopherol acetate per
kg of the selenium-deficient corn oil diet was one-sixth of that by rats fed the same diet without vitamin E; the plasma of
the rats fed the vitamin E-supplemented corn oil diet had a level of vitamin E that was about six times greater than that
of the rats fed the vitamin E-deficient corn oil diet. |
