The influence of nitrate and nitrite on antioxidant defense system in rumen microorganisms of ñattle
S. M. Melikyan, L. I. Solohub
The influence of nitrate and nitrite on peroxidative processes, antioxidant defense system and methanogenesis in rumen microorganisms of calves has been studied. It has been established, that under the influence of nitrate, and particularly nitrite, the content of peroxidative products has increased, whereas the activity of superoxide dismutase and especially the activity of catalase has decreased. The investigated nitrogen compounds have not exerted any noticeable influence on the activity of glutathione peroxidase and the intensity of methanogenesis under their action has reduced.
