Compendium of the antidiabetic effects of supranutritional
selenate doses.
Since selenite ([Se.sup.4+]) has a higher affinity with tissue than
selenate ([Se.sup.6+]), it may form complexes with proteins.
Inorganic Se supplemented in diet at the dose rate 0.2 - 0.6 mg/kg.DM either in
selenate or selenite forms increased total tract digestibility in sheep fed high concentrate diet (Del Razo-Rodriguez et al., 2013) whereas no effect was observed in sheep fed low concentrate diet (Del Razo-Rodriguez et al., 2013; Alimohamady et al., 2013; Serra et al., 1994).
In August 2016, its BEBA infant formula was banned from sales, just a month after its launch in Korea Nestle's BEBA Optipro 2 and 3 were found to contain sodium
selenate, which is not approved here for use in baby foods.
However, the higher solubility and mobility of
selenate in the soil make this form a potential candidate to fertilization (RIOS et al., 2010).

Selenium liver analysis was carried out to determine what the changes in concentrations were after dosing at 0.2 mg/kg sodium
selenate. The concentrations were below the adequate range in the untreated group and above in the treated group.
An inorganic selenium compound--sodium selenite (Na-selenite) or
selenate, the major commercial Se supplements--has been used in animal feed as a source of selenium for the last few decades [3, 23].
For 35 days each group was fed one of the following diets: control diet containing 3% rapeseed oil (RO); ROFO diet containing 2% RO and 1% fish oil (FO); CA diet with the addition of 2% RO, 1% FO and 0.1% carnosic acid (CA); CASeY diet with the addition of 0.35 ppm selenium (Se)in the form of selenized-yeast (SeY) to the CA diet; CASeVI diet with the addition of 0.35 ppm Se in the form of
selenate (SeVI) to the CA diet.
Among thesepollutants chromate (CrO4 2-), dichromate (Cr2O7 2-),phosphate (PO4), nitrite (NO2 ) and
selenate (SeO4) are the most common ones [21].
