abstract = "Levels of selenium (Se) were measured in the pineal glands of rats aged 4,5,8 and 12 months and the following corresponding levels of Se were determined: 1.058 nmol/gland, 0.63 nmol/gland, 0.58 nmol/gland and 0.43 nmol/gland. In the rat pineal glands obtained from rats which drank water containing Se coupled to brewers yeast (average daily intake of Se per animal was 0.5µg ) the following increased levels of Se were determined: 0.87 nmol/gland, 0.72 nmol/gland and 0.59 nmol/gland at the ages of 5,8 and 12 monthsrespectively. Since Se participates in the antioxidative defense of the mammalian organism, the increased levels of Se in the pineal glands of rats supplemented with Se in drinking water, may be of physiological benefit during ageing.",
