The effects of administering the selenocompounds, sodium selenite, methylseleninic acid (MSA), and seleno-L-methionine (SeMet) on glucose tolerance were compared in the nicotinamide (NA) and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mouse model. ICR mice were intraperitoneally treated twice with STZ (100 mg/kg) 15 min after an injection of NA (120 mg/kg) at a 1-d interval. Non-fasting blood glucose levels were then monitored weekly while orally administering the selenocompounds at 158 µg Se/kg body weight with free access to a selenium-deficient diet for 5 weeks. The mean body weights of NA/STZ-induced diabetic mice were partly restored by the administration of selenocompounds, while SeMet led to a higher selenium content and glutathione peroxidase 1 activity in the pancreas. Non-fasting and oral glucose tolerance-tested blood glucose levels, which were elevated by NA/STZ, were significantly suppressed by the administration of SeMet. These results suggest that SeMet may improve glucose tolerance in a NA/STZ-induced mild diabetic mouse model by increasing bioavailability in the pancreas.
