The research work was carried out to assess the antioxidant effect of Vitamin E on glutathione reductase and reduced glutathione levels of male wistar albino rats infected with Trypanosomabruceibrucei . 24 albino rats were divided into six groups of four test animal per group namely: control, Trypanosome infected, Trypanosome + diaminazine treated Trypanosome + 0.1mg Vitamin E, Trypanosome + 0.5mg Vitamin E and Trypanosome + 1.0mg Vitamin E respectively. Glutathione reductase and reduced glutathione were determined in all albino rats using oxidation -Reduction process .The data was subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS version 20. The result of this study shows that there was no significant difference (p>0.05) in reduced glutathione (
