Abstract: Acrylamide, a neurotoxic and carcinogenic chemical compound is formed by frying, roasting, grilling or baking carbohydrate-rich foods at temperatures above 120°C. Acrylamide intake is associated with significantly altered levels of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, creatinine, urea and uric acid in the blood. This study investigates the effect of selenium (as sodium selenite and as a dietary supplement – Celnium®) on the evolution of some biochemical parameters, in Wistar rats, which received high doses of acrylamide. The administration of sodium selenite and Celnium® produced an improvement in liver cell integrity (decrease in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity and iron blood level), liver activities (decrease in direct bilirubin, total bilirubin, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol) and renal function (decrease in creatinine, uric acid and urea levels) in the treated groups as compared to the group which received only acrylamide.
