Effect of dietary organic selenium on fatty acid composition in nutria (Myocastor coypus Mol.) livers

Young, female nutrias (n = 13) were fed a diet supplemented with 0.36 mg/kg selenium in selenium‐enriched yeast (SeY; Sel‐Plex; Alltech, Inc., Nicholasville, KY) for 60 days (total Se concentration in the basal diet was ∼0.1 mg/kg). Concentrations of fatty acids (FA) in the liver were compared to th...

Description
Summary:Young, female nutrias (n = 13) were fed a diet supplemented with 0.36 mg/kg selenium in selenium‐enriched yeast (SeY; Sel‐Plex; Alltech, Inc., Nicholasville, KY) for 60 days (total Se concentration in the basal diet was ∼0.1 mg/kg). Concentrations of fatty acids (FA) in the liver were compared to those of nutrias on a control diet (n = 11). Animals were sacrificed at 8 months of age and liver samples (approximately 30 g) were collected. The gas‐chromatographic analysis of tissue samples from the experimental group revealed a significant decrease in saturated fatty acids (p
