Results and discussion

Details on results:
Supplementation PbSO4 caused a decrease in all parameters used to study Se metabolism, e.g., absorption, tissue distribution, and endogenous excretion of Se. Absorption was decreased 26% and urinary excretion by 42%. The greater effect on excretion than on absorption indicated that Pb has an effect on Se metabolism after absorption.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In this study, Lead sulphate was found to interact with Selenium, inducing a low er toxicity. Yet, mechanism is unknown.
