Dietary selenium at levels below 1 ppm has a partially beneficial effect upon nutritional muscular dystrophy but is ineffective or detrimental at higher levels. The role of selenium in improving the effectiveness of vitamin E is due at least in part to the fact that dietary selenium increases the retention of the α-tocopherols, especiallyd-α-tocopherol. This has been shown by chemical determination of plasma tocopherols and also by tracing the activities of tritiated tocopherols and selenium75in serum and in various fractions of serum proteins in chicks receiving these nutrients alone and in combination.Se75and H3-α-tocopherol activities followed each other very closely in the serum proteins. These studies indicated that vitamin E may be carried by a selenolipoprotein fraction associated with serum γ-globulin. Thus, one biological role of selenium appears to lie in a selenium-containing compound which acts as a carrier of vitamin E and which may function in absorption, retention, prevention of destruction, and perhaps transfer across cell membranes ofd-α-tocopherol, thereby enhancing its biological activity in the blood and perhaps in cells throughout the body.
