title: [Glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase activity in the rat liver after the administration of sodium selenite].
abstract: Sodium selenite 24h after its single administration to rats causes an increase in the activity of glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase in the liver tissue. 6 h after the selenium administration the enzymes activity does not differ from the control. Doses of 0.15, 0.3, 0.5 and 1 mg of selenium per 1 kg of the animal weight were investigated. 0.3 mg proved to be the least effective dose. An increase in the enzyme activity after administering 0.5 mg of selenium is retained for 6 days and 14 days after it does not differ from the control. The liver relative weight 24 h after administration of 0.5 mg of selenium per 1 kg of animal weight proved to be higher but three days later it did not differ from the control. After administering selenium in a dose of 1 mg/kg the liver relative weight was higher for 6 days. Actinomycin D administered in a dose of 0.5 mg/kg simultaneously with selenite prevents the rise in the enzyme activity and relative weight of the liver caused only by a single injection of selenium in the same dose.
