Resumen

Se medió glutation reducido (GSH) en glóbulos rojos de 427 ovejas pertenecientes a 6 razas diferentes. 25% de las ovejas de raza «Finnish Landrace» dieron un contenido de GSH de un tercio del valor obtenido en el resto. Datos familiares indican que esta deficiencia es heredada como un factor autosómico recesivo. En las ovejas que tienen esta deficiencia, la concentracion media de potasio en glóbulos rojos fué significativamente menor que la observada en las ovejas con niveles normales de GSH.
