Abstract
The measurement of dietary selenium intake in a free-living population using dietary recall techniques has been shown to be spurious. Conseq uently, in our laboratory, we have focused on the development of biolo gic monitors such as blood, nails, hair and urine. In this paper, we r eport on the neutron activation analysis of whole blood, plasma and na il specimens collected from 285 Caucasian subjects, all permanent resi dents of Hawaii, participating in a malignant melanoma trial. Correlat ions between monitors are presented and discussed in the context of se lenium determinants and integration of selenium intake.
