The levels of selenium and glutathione peroxidase activity in blood of sheep, cows and pigs

The levels of selenium and glutathione peroxidase activity in blood of sheep, cows and pigs

The levels of selenium (Se) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in the blood of sheep, cows and pigs under farm conditions were examined. Sheep appear to form two distinct groups, namely high Se and GPX and low Se and GPX. The high group gave ranges of 133–249 ng/ml and 77–179 iu/g Hb for blood Se and...

Zusammenfassung:The levels of selenium (Se) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in the blood of sheep, cows and pigs under farm conditions were examined. Sheep appear to form two distinct groups, namely high Se and GPX and low Se and GPX. The high group gave ranges of 133–249 ng/ml and 77–179 iu/g Hb for blood Se and GPX respectively, while the low group showed levels of 21–67 ng/ml and 2–20 iu/g Hb. Overall sheep blood showed a high correlation between Se and GPX (r = 0.92, P
