Note. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM. Each group contained four to nine animals. One-way ANOVA was used to examine the difference between each PCB 126 level and the corn oil treatment (*). No significant differences between low or supplemental and the adequate dietary Se level were observed. Significance for each factor based on two-way ANOVA is indicated in the bottom margin (Se, #) and in the right margin (PCB, *). The level for significance is 0.05. n/a, not applicable.
