The diets of 5 patients with phenylketonuria or maple-syrup-urine disease were supplemented with yeast which was rich in selenium. For 120 days the patients received 45 gg Se/day to increase the Se content of their diets to 10-12ng Se/Kjoule. Before supplementation the selenium content of serum (5-1
Selenium (Se) metabolism in humans is discussed. More selenium as selenomethionine (Semet) is absorbed than when it is present as selenite (95-97% vs. 44-70%). The selenium content in blood is correlated with GPX activity in selenium-deficient Chinese and in New Zealanders, but it is not correlated
