Abstract

In recent years there has been an increasing demand for foods containing
 bioactive compounds that have positive effects on health.  Milk is among these foodstuffs.  Milk also contains antioxidant compounds that
 reduce or prevent the risk of various diseases. 
 Many bioactive compounds such as proteins, vitamins (E and C), retinol,
 beta carotene, glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD)
 and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) form antioxidant activity in milk.  In this study, it was aimed to investigate the
 GSH level, GSH-Px, SOD and CAT activities in milk which was obtained from
 Simmental breed of cattle and raised in Tunceli province.  For this purpose, milk samples were obtained
 from the enterprises producing milk of simmental breed of cattle at the central
 district of Tunceli province.  The data
 on the milk parameters we obtained were found to be consistent with the levels
 reported for dairy cattle.
