Simultaneous qualitative and quantitative HPLC-ICP MS and ESI MS assessment of selenium and sulfur metabolites in turkey liver
Résumé
Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for higher animals and humans. Supplementation with Se, either in naturally-occurring feedstuffs, as inorganic Se, or as organic Se compounds, results in increasing concentrations of tissue Se.At the same time, selenium is often believed to follow the metabolic pathways of sulphur but according to our best knowledge till now there was no detailed study attempting to assess at the same time the metabolic changes of selenium and sulphur metabolites in the animal samples.
