AB  - Antioxidant defences interact to form an integrated system. There is no 
      comprehensive and uniform view on issues concerning the antioxidant status in 
      horses. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to estimate antioxidant 
      parameters in horses of different age, sex and breed as well as environment and 
      relationship between different antioxidants. Parameters of selected antioxidants 
      including superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px), total 
      antioxidant status (TAS), ceruloplasmin (CP), bilirubin, uric acid, zinc, copper 
      and selenium were determined in blood of 80 clinically healthy horses. 
      Antioxidant parameters significantly varied between horses form different 
      environments or different breed and sex. Age of horses had no significant effect 
      on antioxidant parameters. Significant correlation coefficients were observed 
      between enzymatic and nonenzimatic antioxidants. The nature of the relationship 
      between the antioxidant system in horses with respect to environmental factors is 
      rather complex and to date only a part of system is known.
