Microminerals are necessary for all bodily functions. In animal species, selenium (Se), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) all form part of antioxidant enzymes. Micromineral deficiencies, particularly Se, are well recognized in large animal species in Chile. Glutathion peroxidase (GPx) is a widely used biomarker for Se nutritional status and to diagnose Se deficiency in horses. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a Cu and Zn-dependant antioxidant enzyme, although it is not commonly used as a proxy for the nutritional status of these minerals. Ceruloplasmin (CP) is used as a biomarker of Cu nutritional status. This study´s objective was to explore correlation between said minerals and biomarkers in adult horses from southern Chile. Se, Cu, Zn, GPx, SOD, and CP were measured in whole blood of a group of 32 adult horses (5–15 years old). Further, a second group of 14 adult horses (5–15 years old) underwent gluteal muscle biopsies to determine Cu, Zn, GPx, and SOD. Correlations were determined by means of Pearson´s r coefficient. Significant correlations were found for blood GPx and Se (r = 0.79), blood GPx and SOD (r = -0.6), muscular GPx and SOD (r = 0.78), and Cu and CP (r = 0.48). These results confirm previously described strong association between blood GPx and Se in horses, validating the former´s use as a diagnostic proxy of Se deficiency in Chilean horses, and suggest significant interactions between GPx and SOD in blood and muscle tissue.
