Abstract
The effects of Selenium Yeast (SY) given orally to patients with cancer on the oxidative metabolic function and chemotaxis of neutrophils were studied by Lumino-dependent Chemiluminescence (CL) assay and agarose plates assay, respectively. The results showed that the background CL and the peak value CL of neutrophils from patients with cancer 14 d after taking SY were, on the average, 4 and 1.2 times higher than those before taking SY. The chemotactic index (CI) and chemotactic differential (CD) increased in response to SY supplementation; the differences are statistically significant (p<0.01), and no corresponding differences could be seen in the control group (taking yeast).This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
