Selenium content and glutathione peroxidase activity in tissues of the dairy cow after short-term feeding. 1984

J H Harrison, and H R Conrad

The effect of selenium and vitamin E on concentrations of selenium and selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase in tissues of dairy cows was studied. Selenium (5 mg/day) and vitamin E (2 g/day) were supplemented for 10 days in a 2 X 2 factorial arrangement. Selenium supplementation increased content of selenium in whole blood, plasma, ovary, and liver and increased activity of selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase in liver. Activity of selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase in follicular fluid was closely correlated with selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase in plasma. Significant activity of selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase was detected in luteal tissue of the ovary. Relationships were linear between content of selenium and selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase in ovary, uterus, and adrenal tissues.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008099	Liver	A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances.	Livers
D010053	Ovary	The reproductive organ (GONADS) in female animals. In vertebrates, the ovary contains two functional parts: the OVARIAN FOLLICLE for the production of female germ cells (OOGENESIS); and the endocrine cells (GRANULOSA CELLS; THECA CELLS; and LUTEAL CELLS) for the production of ESTROGENS and PROGESTERONE.	Ovaries
D002417	Cattle	Domesticated bovine animals of the genus Bos, usually kept on a farm or ranch and used for the production of meat or dairy products or for heavy labor.

D003338	Corpus Luteum	The yellow body derived from the ruptured OVARIAN FOLLICLE after OVULATION. The process of corpus luteum formation, LUTEINIZATION, is regulated by LUTEINIZING HORMONE.	Corpora Lutea,Lutea, Corpora
D005260	Female		Females
D005979	Glutathione Peroxidase	An enzyme catalyzing the oxidation of 2 moles of GLUTATHIONE in the presence of HYDROGEN PEROXIDE to yield oxidized glutathione and water.

D000311	Adrenal Glands	A pair of glands located at the cranial pole of each of the two KIDNEYS. Each adrenal gland is composed of two distinct endocrine tissues with separate embryonic origins, the ADRENAL CORTEX producing STEROIDS and the ADRENAL MEDULLA producing NEUROTRANSMITTERS.	Adrenal Gland,Gland, Adrenal,Glands, Adrenal
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.	Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012643	Selenium	An element with the atomic symbol Se, atomic number 34, and atomic weight 78.97. It is an essential micronutrient for mammals and other animals but is toxic in large amounts. Selenium protects intracellular structures against oxidative damage. It is an essential component of GLUTATHIONE PEROXIDASE.	Selenium-80,Selenium 80
