  • Title: Platelet selenium in children with normal and low selenium intake.
    Author: Kasperek K, Lombeck I, Kiem J, Iyengar GV, Wang YX, Feinendegen LE, Bremer HJ.
    Journal: Biol Trace Elem Res; 1982 Mar; 4(1):29-34. PubMed ID: 24271912.
    Abstract:
    The concentration of selenium was determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis in erythrocytes, platelets, and plasma of eight dietetically treated children with phenylketonuria (n=6) or maple-syrup-urine disease (n=2) with low selenium intake and for ten children with normal selenium intake. The normal selenium concentration in platelets was about 600 ng/g and about five times higher than in erythrocytes of the same children. A decreased selenium concentration in platelets was seen only when the corresponding concentrations in erythrocytes and plasma were very low. This suggests a special role of selenium in platelets.
