The effect of selenium deficiency on the glutathione content and antioxidant enzymes in the gastrointestinal mucosa was studied. It was found that under Se-deficiency the level of glutathione increased, whereas the activity of Se-dependent glutathione peroxidase decreased. The activities of catalase and glutathione-S-transferase were unaffected. Malondialdehyde content was markedly increased in the glandular stomach of Se-deficient rats.

D007422 Intestines The section of the alimentary canal from the STOMACH to the ANAL CANAL. It includes the LARGE INTESTINE and SMALL INTESTINE. Intestine
D008054 Lipid Peroxides Peroxides produced in the presence of a free radical by the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in the cell in the presence of molecular oxygen. The formation of lipid peroxides results in the destruction of the original lipid leading to the loss of integrity of the membranes. They therefore cause a variety of toxic effects in vivo and their formation is considered a pathological process in biological systems. Their formation can be inhibited by antioxidants, such as vitamin E, structural separation or low oxygen tension.
