Abstract

A study of the erythrocyte glutathione (GSH) concentrations in Nigerian Zebu and Ndama cattle gave a range of 40.8-135.1 mg/100 ml RBC with a mean of 84.0 ± 25.4 mg/100 ml. The GSH concentrations and the packed cell volume (PCV) of the cattle were positively correlated (r = 0.58, p < 0.05). The Ndama had significantly (p < 0.05) higher mean erythrocyte GSH and PCV levels than the Zebu. At comparable PCV levels, the erythrocyte GSH did not vary significantly (P > 0.05) between the breeds.
