| Popis: | Altered selenium status has been shown to be associated with impairment of immune function. The present study was conducted to characterize selenium status in HIV-1 infected individuals (n=70), and determine whether alterations in selenium status were related to immune system dysregulation. Sixty-six percent of HIV-1 seropositive homosexuals, healthy other than persistent generalized lymphadenopathy, exhibited normal plasma selenium levels (85–120 μg/L). In contrast, 23% of such HIV-1 seropositive individuals had high (>120 μg/L) and 11% had low ( |
