Excerpt
Excerpt: The discovery that the biological effects of selenium could be modified by other elements dates back to the work of Moxon (I), who reported that arsenic counteracted the toxic effects of seleniferous grain. This was found to be true in rats (I), pigs (2), dogs (3). and chicks (4). Sulfate has also been shown to counteract the toxicity of selenium in plants (5, 6), bacteria (7, 8), as well as animals (9-11). More recently a biological interaction of selenium with mercury has been discovered. Ganther et al. (12) reported that selenium would counteract the toxicity of methylmercury, and Hill (13) reported that mercury would counteract the toxic effects of selenium. In the latter instance, the inclusion of either cadmium or copper also ameliorated the toxic effects of selenium. The reaction products resulting from the mixing of HgCI,, CdSO,, or CuSO, with SeO, were less toxic to chicks than the same amount of selenium fed as SeO ...
