There has been accumulation of the nutritional muscular dystrophy of the cattle in a certain western district of Finland where the prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS) is also highest. This animal disease is due to lack of selenium (Se) and vitamin E. The Se content of whole blood was low (52.6 +/- 11.3 ng/ml) in MS patients from this high-risk area compared to the controls (68.8 +/- 11.0). The data for serum failed to confirm this tendency. All Se values appeared to be lower than international values suggested. The values for both vitamin E and copper were within the international normal range.
在芬兰某西部地区，牛群中出现了营养性肌肉萎缩，而该地区多发性硬化症（MS）的患病率也是最高的。这种动物疾病是由于缺乏硒（Se）和维生素E。与对照组（68.8 +/- 11.0）相比，来自这个高风险地区的MS患者全血中的硒含量较低（52.6 +/- 11.3 ng/ml）。血清数据未能证实这种趋势。所有硒值似乎都低于建议的国际值。维生素E和铜的值都在国际正常范围内。
