Popis: Intraperitoneal injections of selenodiglutathione (GSSeSG) or selenodicysteine (CySSeSCy) in mice, previously inoculated with tumor cells, inhibited tumor growth and increased the life span of treated as compared with untreated control mice. Determination of cell number at different times after injection of GSSeSG or CySSeSCy indicated that less tumor cells were present in the ascites fluid of these mice than in control mice. The trypan blue dye exclusion method performed 1 day after the injection of GSSeSG showed a high percentage of dead cells (84–99%).
