After rats were fed separately with selenium deficent grain from a Keshan Disease(KD)endemic area(Se:0.021ppm) and KD grain supplemented with sodium selenite(Se: 0.250ppm)for 12-14 weeks, the effects of selenium on the synthesis of tissue and secretive proteins were observed and compared by determination of leucine-~3H incorporation into proteins by pancreas slices. The results suggested that selenium could prevent obstruction of tissue and secretive protein synthesis, reduction amylase activ...
