Abstract. Live organisms during evolution have developed the defence system against toxic oxygen forms. Plant antioxidant system constitutes antioxidant enzymes [Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Peroxidase (P), Catalase (CAT), etc.] and antioxidant compounds [Glutathione (GSH), flavonoids, tocopherols, ascorbic acid, pigments, etc.]. The aim of the research was to investigate the content of lipid peroxidation (LP), GSH and total flavonoids, as well as the selenium accumulation and distribution in overground part of Astragalus onobrychis var. chlorocarpus (Gris.) Stoj. et Stef. (Leguminosae). Finally, a survey of some enzymes [SOD, P and Glutathione Peroxidase (GSH-Px)] has been given

PROUČAVANJE ANTIOKSIDANTNOG SISTEMA BILJNE VRSTE ASTRAGALUS ONOBRYCHIS VAR. CHLOROCARPUS (GRIS.) STOJ. ET STEF. (LEGUMINOSAE U radu je proučavan antioksidantni sistem biljne vrste Astragalus onobrychis var. chlorocarpus (Gris.) Stoj. et Stef. (Leguminosae). Određena je specifična aktivnost antioksidantnih jedinjenja (SOD, P i GSH-Px), zatim sadržaj GSH i ukupnih flavonoida, kao i nivo lipidne peroksidacije. Konačno, ispitivana je akumulacija i distribucija selena u biljci
