Table 3 Association between mean concentrations of erythrocyte GPX enzyme activity, whole blood selenium, and selenoprotein P in relation to the studied polymorphisms, and within-subject effects between genotype and time in the intervention group

From: Genetic polymorphism in selenoprotein P modifies the response to selenium-rich foods on blood levels of selenium and selenoprotein P in a randomized dietary intervention study in Danes
