Abstract

The antioxidant defense system is comprised of a number of interconnecting, and overlapping, components that include both enzymatic and nonenzymatic factors. The trace elements Cu, Zn, and Mn are critical components for a number of these processes, and a deficiency of any one of these elements can result in an impairment of the functioning of the overall antioxidant system. This impairment can be physiologically significant, particularly if the animal is exposed to environmental challenges that increase the production of oxygen radicals over normal physiological levels.
