Popis: Pulmonary function was assessed in non-sensitized male guinea pigs (206–445 g) before and after intratracheal (ITr) treatment with saline or selenium (Se, 0.06 mg/100 g body weight) as selenium dioxide (SeO2) or seleno-l-methionine (SeM). Pulmonary functional parameters such as the respiratory rate (f), tidal volume (TV), dynamic lung compliance (Cdynl) and lung resistance (Rl) were determined using the respiratory flow (F) signal and the transpulmonary signal obtained via the intrapleural pressure (P) from the animal. Although, pulmonary dysfunction was observable with exposure to two different Se compounds, the SeO2-induced changes in f and Rl were significant (P
