  • Title: Effects of selenium and vitamin E deficiencies in lambs on hepatic microsomal hemoproteins and mitochondrial respiration.
    Author: Whanger PD, Tripp MJ, Weswig PH.
    Journal: J Nutr; 1977 Jun; 107(6):998-1005. PubMed ID: 864528.
    Abstract:
    Microsomal hemoprotein levels and delta-amino levulinic acid dehydrase activity were determined in livers and rate of oxygen uptake, ADP:O ratios, and respiration control index were determined on mitochondria from muscle, liver, and heart of normal and white muscle diseased (WMD) lambs. WMD lambs were produced by feeding their dams either low selenium purified or alfalfa hay diets. Vitamin E and/or selenium was injected in a 2 x 2 factorial treatment in the ewes fed purified diets. Hepatic microsomal cytochrome P 450 levels and total heme content were significantly lower in WMD lambs. Cytochrome b5 content was significantly lower in lambs on the -E-Se or -E + Se treatments than those on the +E--Se treatment, but the cytochrome b5 content was not different between WMD and normal lambs from ewes fed the hay diet. No differences were found in hepatic delta-amino levulinic acid dehydrase activity, or in the rate of oxygen uptake, ADP:O ratios or respiratory control index between mitochondria from normal and WMD lamb tissue on any of the treatments.
