Effect of maternal selenium intake during gestation on the oxidative status of farrowing sows. (A) Plasma activities of GSH-Px. (B) Plasma levels of MDA. (C) Plasma levels of T-AOC. Data were shown as mean ± SE. n = 6 for each group. At the same point in time, the means were compared using the Tukey method with a P < 0.05 indicating significance. Therefore, different superscript letters for the same point in time were significantly different (P < 0.05). Control, basal diet; Na₂SeO₃, 0.3 mg/Kg Na₂SeO₃; HMSeBA, 0.3 mg/Kg HMSeBA.
