The most evident clinical signs were dyspnea and depression. At necropsy, the most consistent lesions were edematous lungs and pale mottled hearts. Highest tissue selenium concentrations in declining order were found in the liver, kidney, and heart. The blood selenium disappearance curves were triphasic for those animals which lived for at least 36 hours after selenium was administered, whereas animals which died within 36 hours after selenium administration had biphasic disappearance curves. The (alpha) rate constants of selenium disposition exhibited a dose dependency; so that for animals which received 0.4, 0.6, 0.7, and 0.8 mg selenium/kg body weight, the (alpha) rate constants were 0.1098, 0.0786, 0.0458, and 0.0339 hr.('-1), respectively. The mean (beta) elimination rate of the 11 sheep which exhibited triphasic toxicokinetics was 0.0011 hr.('-1) which represented a biological half-life of 630 hours (26.25 days).","Four sheep injected intravenously with 0.7 mg selenium/kg body weight survived the 192 hour post-injection observation period.

A dose-response relationship was observed in the heart with degeneration evident in all hearts and necrosis present in the 2 hearts with the highest concentrations of selenium.","Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-16T06:35:30Z (GMT).
