Effects of Dietary Selenium Supplements on the Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) Activity of Neocaridina heteropoda (Crustacea: Decapoda: Atyidae: Caridina ) Exposed to Ambient Sodium Polyphosphate

Article Preview

Abstract:

To determine the effects of dietary selenium (Se) supplementary on muscle superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, oriental river prawn, Neocaridina heteropoda were exposed to sodium polyphosphate. For each concentration , the shrimps were grouped into control diet group, inorganic Se group and organic Se group. For each concentration, the order of total SOD activities were organic Se diet group > inorganic Se diet group > control diet group. With the increasing concentrations of sodium polyphosphate, the total SOD activities increased first and then decreased dramatically. This study indicated that Se supplementary in diet could enhance the resistance of shrimps against low concentrations of ambient Sodium polyphosphate.
