To elucidate the relationship between chemical forms of selenium in tissues and subacute liver damage induced by selenocystine (T. Hasegawa et al., Arch. Toxicol., 68,91 (1994)), the distribution and chemical form of selenium were investigated in ICR male mice treated with the chemical orally (50 mg/kg) and intravenously (5 mg/kg). The time-distribution of selenium in plasma, erythrocytes and liver after separate administration varied. However, Sephadex G-150 chromatograms of plasma, and stroma-free hemolysate from mice treated orally or intravenously with selenocystine, revealed that selenium exists mainly in the albumin and hemoglobin fractions, respectively, and is neither route- or time-dependent. Sephadex G-150 chromatograms of liver cytosol of the animals 1 h after oral administration or 1 and 6 h after intravenous administration showed two selenium-containing fractions, void volume and a low-molecular fraction (K_<av>=0.85) ; 6 h after oral treatment, however, animals had an additional high-molecular fraction (K_<av>=0.45). Levels of acid-volatile selenium and dialyzable selenium in the fraction with a K_<av> value of 0.45 were similar, being 31.2% and 30.3%, respectively. No acid-volatile selenium was recognized in the non-dialyzable high-molecular fraction. The present study demonstrated that when selenocystine is administered orally to mice, the selenium which produces acid-volatile selenium by acidification may bind to protein sulfhydryl groups in the liver cytosol ; this was not seen in the case of intravenous administration.
