Clostridium difficile is a nosocomial pathogen whose incidence and importance are on the rise. Previous work in our laboratory characterized the central role of selenoenzyme-dependent Stickland reactions in C. difficile metabolism.

Uptake of Na2(75)SeO3 by mitochondria of the larvae of the insect C. cephalonica reared at different dietary selenium (Se) levels revealed: 1. A proportional increase in the uptake with externally added Na2(75)SeO3 in concentrations upto 25.

75Se was given intravenously into 5 bulls. Multiple blood and semen samples were taken and during slaughter 5, 10, 15, 20 and 80 days later samples of various reproductive and other organs were collected. After injection, 75Se in blood reached a peak at 6 h followed by a rapid decline.

The rate of pancreatic enzyme synthesis was increased in patients with chronic pancreatitis. Measurement of pancreatic enzyme synthesis was more sensitive in the detection of chronic pancreatitis than either the bicarbonate or the trypsin secretory response to secretin plus CCK.

After intramuscular injections of 500 muCi 75Se, semen was collected periodically over a 63-day period from a selenium-deficient and a selenium-injected ram which were then killed for collection of the reproductive organs for the gel filtration studies. Testes, accessory glands and semen were also obtained from a bull injected intravenously with 75Se. Gel filtration (Sephadex G 150) of ram testis cytosol resulted in 4 75Se peaks (Ve/Vo ratios of 1 X 1, 1 X 5, 2 X 3, 2 X 9).
