Abstract

amino acid aminofusin glucose selenium unclassified drug drug blood level intravenous drug administration intravenous feeding major clinical study malnutrition parenteral nutrition
The mean whole blood selenium concentration in 12 patients on parenteral nutrition 0.045 +- 0.018 μg/ml, was considerably lower (P<0.001) than in normal New Zealand adult subjects (0.068 +- 0.013 μg/ml). The mean concentration of selenium in red cells (0.063 +- 0.018 μg/ml) was a little lower than values obtained in normal subjects, while the mean concentration of selenium in plasma (0.025 +- 0.012 μg/ml) was much lower than that found in 10 normal subjects (0.051 +- 0.009 μg/ml).
