Abstract
Differing antioxidant potentials created by graded ascorbic acid suppl ementation (1, 10, 100 mg per animal daily) evoked changes in the leve l of glutathione peroxidase activity and lipid peroxides in the liver of female guinea pigs. The group with the lowest ascorbic acid intake (1 mg) had the lowest activity of glutathione peroxidase and the highe st level of lipid peroxides. The two other groups (10 and 100 mg) show ed enhancement of glutathione peroxidase activity and decline in lipid peroxides. There was no difference between the groups with 10 and 100 mg ascorbic acid intake.
