Oxidative stress (OS) plays a key role in the initiation or progression of numerous diseases, and dairy cows undergo OS at transition period. However, discrepancies between methodologies make it difficult to comparisons studies, therefore research on this topic may not be implemented farms. This study aims test under field conditions use an oxidative index (OSi) as combined measurement through ratio pro-oxidants antioxidants throughout period Serum samples high-yielding were taken, markers...

The aims of the study were to evaluate toxic and essential metal concentrations in meat offal from pigs north-west Spain compare these with reported other countries cattle this region, relate observed maximum acceptable concentrations. Samples 63 aged 6 months randomly collected at slaughter. After acid digestion, levels metals determined by ICP-OES ICP-MS. As regards metals, mean liver, kidney muscle 0.073, 0.308 0.009 mg kg(-1) fresh weight for cadmium, 0.004, 0.008 0.003 lead, 0.013,...

Specimens of Starksia were collected throughout the western Atlantic, and a 650-bp portion mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase-c subunit I (COl) was sequenced as part re-analysis species diversity Central Atlantic shorefishes. A neighbor-joining tree constructed from sequence data suggests existence several cryptic species. Voucher specimens each genetically distinct lineage color photographs vouchers taken prior to dissection preservation examined for diagnostic morphological characters....

Summary Post‐parturient insulin resistance ( IR ) is a common feature in all mammalian animals. However, dairy cows, it can be exacerbated because of high milk yield, leading to excessive negative energy balance, which related with increased disease incidence, reduced production and worsened reproductive performance. has been extensively investigated humans suffering from diabetes mellitus. In these subjects, known that oxidative stress OS plays causative role the onset . Although occurs...

Background Exacerbated postparturient insulin resistance (IR) has been associated with several pathologic conditions in dairy cattle. Oxidative stress (OS) plays a causative role IR humans, and an association, but not direct relationship, between OS recently reported transition Hypothesis Supplementation antioxidants shortly before calving improves glucose tolerance after parturition Animals Ten late‐pregnant Holstein cows entering their 2nd to 5th lactation. Methods Randomized...

Abstract. Metabolic parameters have been used in an attempt to monitor the health, reproductive and nutritional status of dairy cows. Nevertheless, last few years detection free radical damage, protection against it has become very important practice clinical medicine. This report aims establish values for plasma lipid hydroperoxides (LOOH) total antioxidant (TAS) healthy cows its relationship with milk yield. The study was carried out 22 divided into two groups: animals a low production...

The increasing frequency of copper (Cu) toxicosis episodes in cattle recent years, mainly associated with excess Cu supplementation, underscores the need to identify animals clinically silent phase hepatic accumulation. aim study reported here was evaluate suitability various blood parameters as potential early markers accumulation cattle. Paired liver and samples from 70 calves aged 6 10 months were obtained at slaughter a region northwestern Spain where usually have concentration higher...
