Abstract

Objective:This study was planned to
assess the possible relationships with PAG concentrations by the determination
of the biomarkers of oxidative stress in the plasma of dairy cattle during the early period of
gestation. 

Materials and Methods:Blood samples were
collected in pregnant females (n = 54) and non-pregnant females (n
= 45). Measurement of
biomarkers of oxidative stress (LPO, GSH and SOD) was carried out in females using
spectrophotometric method. 

Results:The levels of SOD were
significantly lower (P< 0.05) in pregnant
females from day 25 to 35 (7.08 ±0.31 U.ml^-1) and day 36 to 50 after
AI (6.6 ± 0.29 U.ml^-1) compared with non-pregnant ones (7.59 ± 0.35
U.ml^-1). Concerning the levels of LPO and GSH, the values obtained
were also significant lower (P <
0.05) in pregnant females in the period 25-35 days post AI (122.7 ±10.27 μM and
6.46 ±1.24 μmol/min.ml^-1, respectively) and 36-50 days post AI
(108.05±6.17 μM and 6.2±0.77 μmol/min.ml^-1, respectively) than in
the non-pregnant ones (124.8 ± 12.16 μM and 6.96 ± 0.92 μmol/min.ml^-1,
respectively). 

Conclusion:We have demonstrated that
the markers of oxidative stress were higher in non-pregnant females compared
with pregnant females during the early period of gestation in dairy cattle.
