Effects of selenium on the antioxidant enzymes response of Neocaridina heteropoda exposed to ambient nitrite.
Bull Environ Contam Toxicol
January 2010
Article Synopsis
- Dietary selenium (Se) supplementation was tested on the muscle antioxidant enzymes SOD, CAT, and GPX, as well as on superoxide anion levels in shrimp exposed to nitrite.
- Results indicated that Se supplementation improved shrimp's ability to withstand low levels of nitrite, suggesting that selenium acts as an antioxidant.
- Additionally, organic forms of Se were found to be more beneficial than inorganic forms in enhancing this resistance.
