Abstract

The erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase activity and blood selenium have been investigated in swine fed a Se deficient diet with, and without, selenium supplementation. A highly significant correlation (r = 0.90) between erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase and blood selenium was found.

Sammendrag

Aktiviteten av glutathion peroksydase (GSH-Px) i røde blodlegemer og konsentrasjonen av selen i blod er målt hos griser som ble satt på selen/E-vitaminfattig fór fra 6-ukers alder. Grisene fikk dels tilskudd av selen, dels av E-vitamin, dels både selen og E-vitamin, i tillegg til at noen griser fikk tilskudd av E-vitaminfattig tran.

Det ble funnet en positiv, lineær korrelasjon mellom blodkonsentrasjonen av selen og GSH-Px aktiviteten i blodlegemene (r = 0,90; y = 797x + 1; n = 127). Hverken trantilskudd eller E-vitamintilskudd alene hadde noen effekt på aktiviteten av GSH-Px i blodlegemene.
