The objective of this study was to examine iodine and selenium concentrations in skeletal muscles of red deer, roe deer and wild boars living in regions with low I and Se contents in the soil and water. I conc. was determined in samples of musculus gracilis (n=66 in red deer, n=32 in roe deer, n=27 in wild boar). The shot animals came from hunting grounds in western and southern regions of the Czech Republic and from the the Protected Landscape Area Sumava. The average I conc. in red deer muscles was 44.9+/-15.2 microg I/kg wet weight with the range of 6.9 to 82.0 microg I/kg. I conc. in roe deer meat was lower (from 18.3 to 84.4 microg I/kg and 39.3+/-14.1 microg I/kg on average) which might be due to differences between biotopes and food. I conc. in wild boars was 55.9+/-27.0 microg/kg wet weight. Se conc. was determined in 22 samples of red deer, 51 samples of roe deer and 27 samples of wild boar skeletal muscles. The average values of Se conc. in the meat of red deer, roe deer and wild boars were 16.2+/-8.4, 36.9+/-16.6 and 27.6+/-19.8 microg Se/kg wet weight, respectively. All three species studied are characterised by low values and high variabilities of Se concentrations in meat with the minimum and maximum values of 3.9 and 83.3 microg/kg wet weight, respectively.
