LONG TERM SUPPLEMENTATION OF SE-ENRICHED MALT FOR THE HIGH RISK POPULATION OF LUNG CANCER: INHIBITION OF ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT AND BENZOaPYRENE INDUCED UNSCHEDULED AND SYNTHESIS OF PERIPHERAL LYMPHOCYTES

摘要

Se malt cakes containing 300μg selenium were taken up daily to men from high risk area in lung cancer and the influences of Ultraviolet (UV) and Benaopyrene (BαP) induced unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) were determined. The Se levels in serum, hair and activity of GSH-px were increased by 89%, 67% and 178%, respectively, after Se-supplementation for half year. In the UV treatment, the ratio of UDS was decreased from the mean values of 2. 47 in the control to 1. 61 (P0. 05) in the Se-group, In the BaP treatment, furthermore, the elevated Se levels of 78% in serum and 83% in the hair accompanied with 56% high in activity of GSH-px were followed by the Se intake for one year, while the mean value of UDS was reduced from 2. 21 in the control to 1. 47(P 0. 05) in the group of selenium tested. The blocking effects of UV irradiation and BaP treatment induced UDS of peripheral lymphocytes were showed in the Se-supplementation.
