이 연구에서는 정소가 제거된 흰쥐에 비타민 E와 셀레늄(Selevit)을 5주간 투여 후 체중, 장기 무게, 혈액학적 그리고 생화학적 변화를 관찰하였다. 체중의 변화에서는 모든 실험군에서 증가가 나타냈다. Orch+Selevit군의 체중 증가는 11.2±10.25 g으로 가장 낮았으며, Intact군, Sham군, Orch군과 비교 시 유의적으로 감소되었다. 장기 무게의 변화에서는 Orch+Selevit군의 심장과 간장 무게는 Intact군, Sham군과 비교 시 유의적으로 감소되었다. Intact군, Sham군, Orch군의 신장 무게는 Orch+Selevit군 비교 시 유의적인 증가를 확인하였다. 백혈구 수의 혈액학적 변화에서는 Orch+Selevit군은 다른 모든 군과 비교해 유의적인 증가를 확인하였으며, 적혈구수, 평균적혈구용적, 평균적혈구혈색소량, 평균적혈구색소농도 등과 같은 혈액학적 측정치에서는 유의성은 인정되지 않았다. 생화학적 변화에서는 Orch+Selevit군의 혈청총단백질, 알부민은 Orch군과 비교 시 유의적으로 증가하였으며, 알부민은 Intact군, Sham군 그리고 Orch군과 비교 시 유의적으로 감소했다. AST와 ALT는 모든 실험군에서 유의성이 없었다.
The present study was devised to determine the effects of vitamin E and selenium (Selevit) on body weight, organ weight, hematological values and biochemical parameters in the orchidectomized (Orch) rats. Intact group (n=15) received no treatment and operation. Orch＋Selevit received operation and Selevit. The body weights of each group increased, but that of the Orch＋Selevit group were significantly lower than those of all the other groups. There were significantly different decreased (p＜0.001) of body weights between Orch＋Selevit group and all the other groups. Also, organ weights such as heart, liver, spleen, kidney, lung and skeletal muscle were measured. The heart and liver weights in the Orch＋Selevit group were significantly different decreased (p＜0.001) in comparison with those in the Intact and Sham groups. The kidney weights in the Orch＋Selevit group were significantly different decreased (p＜0.01, p＜0.001) in comparison with those in all the other groups. The number of white blood cell (WBC) was significantly higher (p＜0.05) in the Orch＋Selevit group than in all the other groups. The hematological values of 12 parameters were not significantly different in any of the groups. The concentrations of serum total protein, albumin and alkaline phosphatase only increased significantly (p＜0.05, p＜0.01) in the Orch＋Selevit group as compared to that in the Orch group. We conclude that Selevit was significantly decreased the body weight in the Orch rats. Our findings suggest that Selevit may influence the process of lipid packaging and absorption in the Orch rats.
