Antioxidant status (selenium, vitamins A and E) and aging.

Antioxidant status can be evaluated by blood selenium, vitamins A and E. The level of selenium was determined in whole blood, erythrocytes and plasma of 170 French people (70-95 years old) healthy and with intercurrent illness, by using PIXE (proton-induced X-ray emission analysis). These results are discussed with other values from the literature. Plasma levels of vitamins A and E have been measured by HPLC. All data were compared with those obtained for younger subjects. Healthy elderly people residing in a geriatric home received selenium supplements during 1 month. The influence of this supplementation brought to light a deficiency for this trace element. The correlation of aging and nutritional requirements with immune function, heart and cancer death rate is presented and discussed.[1]
