Selenium glutathione peroxidase (SeGSHpx) was assayed in breast and leg muscle from chickens fed a basal (0.09 ppm Se) and a Se‐supplemented (0.31 ppm Se) diet. The same muscles were ground and made into 50g patties and stored 4 days at 4° C. TBA values were determined on the stored patties. SeGSHpx activity was higher (p < 0.05) in muscles from the Se‐supplemented chickens than in muscles from the non‐Se supplemented birds. The higher SeGSHpx activity was accompanied by lower (p < 0.05) TBA numbers in the stored chicken patties.
