The change in activities of 3 major antioxidative enzymes in equine erythrocytes, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSHpx), and catalase, was investigated in order to evaluate the effect of exercise. Blood samples were obtained from 11 thoroughbred horses before and immediately after vigorous exercise which induced the increase of plasma lipid peroxide (Lpx) concentration from 1.16 +/- 0.40 nmol/ml to 1.29 +/- 0.34 nmol/ml. Following the exercise, the GSHpx activity in erythrocytes was significantly reduced from 69 +/- 10 IU/gHb to 65 +/- 8 IU/gHb, whereas SOD and catalase activities were not changed. Effects of an antioxidative compound, containing selenium and vitamin E(Se-E), on the response of antioxidative enzyme activities following the exercise were examined. Seven horses were injected intramuscularly with Se-E(Se:25 mg, vitamin E:54.8 mg) and received the same vigorous exercise. After Se-E treatment, plasma Lpx levels before the exercise were decreased from 1.24 +/- 0.09 nmol/ml to 0.86 +/- 0.03 nmol/ml, however, SOD, GSHpx, and catalase activities were not varied. The Se-E treatment slightly prevented the decrease in GSHpx activity and the increase in plasma Lpx level after the exercise, having no effect on SOD and catalase activities. These results suggested that the changes of GSHpx activity in erythrocytes might reflect the protective condition against exercise-induced lipid peroxidation.
