  • Title: Selenium supply and glutathione peroxidase activity in breastfed Polish infants.
    Author: Trafikowska U, Zachara BA, Wiacek M, Sobkowiak E, Czerwionka-Szaflarska M.
    Journal: Acta Paediatr; 1996 Oct; 85(10):1143-5. PubMed ID: 8922071.
    Abstract:
    Selenium (Se) concentration in human milk in Poland is below 10 ng ml-1 and the Se intake by breastfed infants is about 6 micrograms day-1. Supplementation of lactating mothers with selenium-enriched yeast increases rapidly and significantly the Se concentration and glutathione peroxidase activity in maternal blood components. Se concentration in milk is also significantly elevated. After 1 month the mean Se intakes by breastfed infants were greater than the recommended dietary allowance of 10 micrograms day-1 for infants from birth to 6 months of age.
