Selenium: Biochemical Role as a Component of Glutathione Peroxidase
TL;DR: When hemolyzates from erythrocytes of selenium-deficient rats were incubated in vitro in the presence of ascorbate or H(2)O(2), added glutathione failed to protect the hemoglobin from oxidative damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of dietary selenium on erythrocyte and liver glutathione peroxidase in the rat
TL;DR: The results suggest that tissue GSH-Px can be used as an indicator of animal Se status, but other factors such as age, sex, and dietary vitamin E may have to be considered.
