Open full text 13 citations

Abstract

The transfer of Se across the sheep placenta was studied in utero by injecting Na 75selenite into the ewe or fetus and determining plasma radioactivity simultaneously in maternal and fetal compartments. It has been demonstrated that there is a bidirectional transfer of Se across the sheep placenta in utero. Key words: Selenium kinetics, pregnant ewe, placenta, fetus
