Abstract
Low concentration (1.5 and 2.5 ppm) selenium in drinking water for 2 generations had no effect on reproduction in rats; 2.5 ppm reduced the number of young reared by the second generation of mothers; 7.5 ppm prevented reproduction in females but fertility of males was not affected.Keywords
