| Abstract |
Selenium (Se) is an essential nutritional element for humans. A low Se status has been documented in formula-fed small-for-gestational age (SGA) newborns in the first month of life. The aim of the study was to compare the nutritional selenium status in adequate-for-gestational age (AGA) and in SGA newborns in the first month of life in relation to feeding type. Se status was assessed by plasma and erythrocyte concentrations, determined by pulsed Zeeman effect-atomic absorption spectrophotometry. We studied 210 newborns divided in groups according to birth weight (129 AGA, 81 SGA ) and feeding type (breast milk, formula, mixed) in wk 1-4 of postnatal life. Erythrocyte Se levels are affected neither by feeding type nor by birth weight. Se plasmatic concentrations were lower in SGA than in AGA newborns. Significant differences in mean plasma concentrations were found between formula-fed and breast-fed (p=0.013) and between formula-fed and mixed-fed (p=0.006) SGA newborns. The difference was not significant in AGA neonates. Breast-fed SGA newborns consistently showed higher plasma Se concentrations than formula-fed newborns. Unless supplemented from birth, Se intake will be inadequate in bottle-fed SGA infants. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 October 2013.
All research outputs
#8,535,472
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Biological Trace Element Research
#585
of 2,336 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#36,570
of 143,821 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Biological Trace Element Research
#9
of 26 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,336 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 143,821 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 26 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
