 note = {Objective: We investigated the relationship between trace element concentrations and neutrophil basalreactive oxygen species（ ROS） production capability among the Japanese general population.
　 Subjects and methods: Subjects of the current study were 606 participants（ 225 males and 381 females） who had participated in the Iwaki Health Promotion Project 2005. Body mass index, biochemical blood examination, neutrophil
basal ROS production and serum concentrations of trace element （Copper（Cu）, Zinc（Zn）, Iron（Fe）, Selenium
（Se）） were measured. Each trace element was divided into 4 quartiles according to the concentration, and the
neutrophil basal ROS production of each group was compared and analyzed. Moreover, the relationship between the concentration and neutrophil basal ROS production capability was assessed using a multiple linear regression analysis.
　 Results: For both males and females, a tendency to low neutrophil ROS production associated with higher Se serum concentration was observed. On the other hand, no significant correlation was observed between the Cu, Zn and Fe concentrations and neutrophil basal ROS production capability.
　 Conclusion: In conclusion, serum Se relieves oxidative stress through inhibiting neutrophil ROS production within a physiological range. On the other hand, our results suggested that neutrophil ROS production was unaffected by Cu, Zn and Fe concentrations within the normal physiological range., 弘前医学. 63, 2012, p.85-95},
