Blood selenium and trace minerals play an important role in animal’s health and production. The aims of this study were to determine selenium effect on blood glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity, trace minerals and weight gain in lambs. Twelve female Makuei breed were studied for 63 days in groups of control, nanoselenium (NanoSe) and sodium selenite (NaSe). Mean concentrations of GPX, Cu and ...

GPx-3 Gene Promoter Variation and the Risk of Arterial Ischemic Stroke To the Editor: The recently published association of a particular promoter variant of the GPx-3 (plasma glutathione peroxidase) gene with increased risk for arterial ischemic stroke in this journal1 was the result of a long-duration research project. A set of linked polymorphisms in the promotor of the GPx-3 gene was describ...

In this study, some biochemical responses of Cyfluthrin (CFT), a commercial insecticide in Dreissena polymorpha, were investigated. The 96 hour LC50 value CFT on D. polymorpha was calculated as 553.22 ± 27.3 µg / L. exposed to subletal concentrations (1/20, 1/10 and 1/5 value) for 24 hours. enzyme activities superoxide dismustase (SOD), catalase (CAT) glutathione peroxidase (GPx) determined ind...

Background: Regular exercise can alleviate oxidative stress. There are no studies examining changes in this variable as a result of an intense acute taekwondo (TKD) exercise. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the effect one bout TKD on superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and malondialdehyde (MDA) adolescent female taekwon...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of acute heat stress on the production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS), the gene expression of the avian uncoupling protein (avUCP) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX 7), and the activity of the enzyme GPX in the liver of meat quail. Two groups of 15 meat quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) that were 23 d of age were initially h...

The aim of this study was to determine the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), total antioxidant status (TAS) and accumulation of Hsp70 in porcine ovarian granulosa cells after deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEA) exposure in vitro. Porcine ovarian granulosa cells were incubated with DON/ZEA administrations as follows: group A (10/10 ng/mL), group B (100/...
