Abstract: Studies on effects of GSH-Px,CuZn-SOD and T-SOD in serum of different kinds of sheep in pregnancy which were added selenium in the identical condition of feeding management.There were 90 sheep in pregnancy including Mongolian sheep, Dorset sheep and Suffolk sheep, the activity of GSH-Px,CuZn-SOD and T-SOD were determined by xanthine-oxidase method.Results showed that from pregnant 3 months on, the activity of GSH-Px in serum of each kind sheep added selenium was significantly enhanced,and the activity of GSH-Px was significantly between the same kind of sheep which were added selenium and non-added selenium, and at pregnant 3 months, the activity of CuZn-SOD and T-SOD of each kind sheep added selenium were significantly higher than those of the same kind sheep non-added selenium. Results indicated that there was no antagonism between selenium and copper or selenium and zinc,and added selenium could significantly heighten the activity of CuZn-SOD and T-SOD,so added selenium could play an important role to maintain natural pregnancy and to enhance resistibility.
