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.

Keywords: glutathione peroxidase, selenium, swine blood.
