title: Glutathione peroxidase activity in the blood of healthy horses given different selenium supplementation.
abstract: Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px) activity in the blood is correlated to the amount of selenium which was given to the horse. Currently recommended doses of selenium seem to be sufficient in order to prevent selenium deficiency. The blood GSH-px in foals reflects the amount of selenium given to the mare during pregnancy.
