The long-term effect of selenium supplementation on blood glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity and plasma TBARS' production (as an index of peroxidation) was evaluated in 15-mo-old male rats fed a diet supplemented with 0.25 or 0.50 ppm selenium, for 12 mo. A group of nonsupplemented age-matched rats was the control. In addition, triglycerides, phospholipids, total and free cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and HDL-phospholipids levels were measured in plasma. Plasma testosterone levels were also determined in order to control the aging process in these animals. The GSH-Px activity and the peroxidation level were unchanged in all the groups. However, concerning the lipid parameters, a decrease in triglycerides concentration was observed in both treated groups (p < 0.05). Therefore, in these experimental conditions, despite no observed changes in parameters related to lipid peroxidation, selenium seems to be involved with triglycerides metabolism, eventually improving the triglycerides status of aged animals.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Lipid
D008075 Lipoproteins, HDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL lipoproteins, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse cholesterol transport). Their major protein component is APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I. HDL also shuttle APOLIPOPROTEINS C and APOLIPOPROTEINS E to and from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during their catabolism. HDL plasma level has been inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

D010743 Phospholipids Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system.
