Abstract
In experimental trichinellosis in rats the intensification of antioxid ant processes has been observed. This phenomenon manifested itself in the late muscular phase (18th week post infection) of Trichinella spir alis infection through a significant increase in the activity of super oxide dismutase and peroxidase and in the content of the antioxidant a -tocopherol (vitamin E).
