The present study aims to explore how selenium supplementation affects the element distribution in liver tissue of rats subjected strenuous swimming exercise.Thirty-two Spraque-Dawley male were equally divided into four groups: Group 1, normal control group.Group 2, selenium-supplemented, nonswimming (0.6 mg/kg/day sodium selenite) 3, swimming, no 4, selenium-supplemented group.After one month, animals decapitated and samples collected determine levels lead, cobalt, boron, molybdenum, chromium, sulfur, magnesium, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, copper, iron, zinc selenium.The potassium values higher groups, relative controls.Group 3 had signifi cantly lower lead (p<0.001).The highest cobalt obtained 1 that 2 was than Groups 4. boron those all other groups.The copper magnesium compared 2. phosphorus found 1.The 4 3. results demonstrated exercise distinct elements tissue.Also, offsets decrease vigorous (Tab.3, Ref. 20).
