Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica volume 13, pages 238–241 (1972)Cite this article

Abstract

Mean selenium contents of liver, heart muscle and skeletal muscle of pigs with dietetic microangiopathy (MAP), but without waxy muscle degeneration (MD) and hepatosis diaetetica (HD), were 1113, 850 and 265 ng/g d.s., respectively. These values were not lower than corresponding values of control pigs without MAP, MD and HD.

Sammanfattning

Medelvärdet på seleniumhalten i lever, hjärt- och skelettmuskulatur från grisar med mikroangiopati (MAP) men utan samtidig vaxartad muskeldegeneration (MD) och hepatosis diaetetica (HD) var 1113, 850 och 265 ng/g t.s. resp. Dessa värden var inte lägre än motsvarande värden hos kontrollgrisar utan MAP, MD och HD.
