Abstract::
Studies have shown that selenium is an essential component of glutathione as an important antioxidant to reduce
oxidative stress and inhibit intracellular parasites’ growth. In contrast, calcium in cytosol of such parasites plays
a key role in entry of the parasite into the host cell and its primary motility. The present study was designed to
evaluate and compare glutathione peroxidase bioactivity effects post administration of selenium and calcium in
BALB/c mice infected by Toxoplasma gondii (Table 3)
