“…The researchers suggested that vitamin E acts as an immune enhancer by increasing disease resistance and also has a positive effect on the feed conversion rate and liver function test of desi laying birds (Abbas et al 2019). Organic selenium supplementation has been reported to reduce the incidence of white muscle disease in lambs born from Awassi sheep (Yavuzer and Bengisu, 2014). Selenium enters the structure of the enzyme glutathione peroxydase (GSH-Px), which is involved in the catabolism of hydrogen peroxide, one of the reactive oxygen species that causes oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids and sulfhydryl groups in cell membranes (Miller et al 1993;Van Metre, 2001;Karapınar and Yılmaz, 2007).…”

Background: In this study, the effects of White Muscle Disease (WMD) on certain blood parameters, MDA and GSH levels in liver and thyroid tissues and the thyroid hormones were investigated in sheep. Methods: Sixteen lambs (8 with WMD, 8 controls) of similar age, 3 to 50 days old, selected from the same region were used in the study. Blood samples were taken from all animals. One ml Vitamin E + Se were injected (I/M) to the lambs with WMD and blood and tissue samples were collected after the treatment as well. The serum Ca, P, T3, T4, albumin, globulin, total protein, glutathione (GSH) values were analyzed by an auto-analyzer. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and GSH amounts of the liver and thyroid tissues were also determined. Result: The low Ca ion amount in lambs with WMD was found to have increased after injections of vitamin E + Se. P levels followed the same pattern. Total protein, albumin and globulin levels increased after treatment. It was determined that there was a decrease in T3 levels and an increase in T4 levels in patient lamb sera. The levels of GSH in both the liver and thyroid tissues were found to have decreased and statistical significance (at what level) was only found for the liver GSH levels. MDA levels in the hepatic and thyroid tissues were found to have slightly increased in the WMD group. In conclusion, serum differences in Ca, P, albumin, globulin, total protein, T3, T4, GSH, GSH and MDA levels were statistically significant between the groups.
