The ducklings in control group （Group Ⅰ） were fed with full rations containing 0.3 mg kg^-1 selenium, and the ducklings in selenium poisoning group （Group Ⅱ ） were fed with seleniumexcessive rations containing 8.0 mg kg^-1 selenium. One mL blood was collected by cardiac puncture at d 15, 30, 60, and 90 （n = 10, respectively）, serum was separated by centrifugation. Contents of cytokines were determined by the radioimmunity method （RIA）. The results showed that the contents of IL-113, IL-213 in Group Ⅱ were higher than that in control group at d 15 （P〉0.05）, but were significantly lower at d 30, 60, and 90 （P〈0.01）; the contents of IL-8β in Group II were significantly lower than that in control group （P〈0.01）; the contents of erythropoietin （EPO） and IGF-2 in Group II were significantly lower in different degree than that in control group at d 60 and 90 （P〈0.01）; the contents of granulocyte- macrophage colony stimulating factor （GM-CSF） in the two groups were lower in different degree and significantly lower at d 60 and 90 （P〈0.01）. It can be concluded that the excessive selenium could result in a decrease in immunity and a series of clinical pathology changes, such as anemia, tissue hemorrhage, and necrosis.展开更多

The dynamic changes of No content and NOS activity in the serum and tissues were determined by means of the method of nitric acid reductase. Results showed that the NO content and NOS activity in serum and tissues in experimental group increased significantly(P<0. 05)and they were time-dependent. It was suggested that the high level of selenium in bodies could increase the NOS activity and NO content as it destroyed the metabolism of material and energy as well as structure and function of tissues and cells. These changes of NO content and NOS activity might be involved in the metabolism of selenium poisoning.展开更多
