TL;DR: It is shown that abnormalities develop after a few weeks in the electrocardiograms of both rats and lambs fed dystrophogenic diets in experimental conditions and these abnormalities can be prevented by the administration of adequate selenium or tocopherol.
Abstract: FRASER and I1,2 have previously shown that abnormalities develop after a few weeks in the electrocardiograms of both rats and lambs fed dystrophogenic diets in experimental conditions. These abnormalities can be prevented by the administration of adequate selenium or tocopherol. Without such supplementation the rats die with hepatic necrosis, while the lambs develop lesions typical of white muscle disease (WMD) which in these experimental conditions always proves fatal
