The pigs received their respective experimental diets for 4 weeks. At the end of trial, blood samples were collected from all the 6 pigs in each treatment group for antioxidants’ [glutathione, (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT)] and oxidant malondialdehyde (MDA) analyses. The GSH serum levels of T1, T3 and T4 animals were similar (P &gt; 0.05) and significantly (P &lt; 0.05) higher compared with those of T2 animals. The serum levels of GSH-Px, SOD and CAT mirrored GSH pattern. MDA serum levels of T3 and T4 animals were similar (P &gt; 0.05) and significantly (P &lt; 0.05) lower than those of T1 animals with the T2 animals showing significantly (P &lt; 0.05) the highest levels compared with other treatment groups. It was concluded that crude oil ingestion causes oxidative stress in the growing pig and vitamin E without selenium restored antioxidants and oxidant statuses to control levels.</Abstract><CompanyAddress/><CompanyPhone/><CompanyFax/><CompanyEmail/></CoverPageProperties>
