Antioxidant Status and Lipid Peroxidation in Erythrocyte of Dog Infested with Demodex canis

Abstract

The study was conducted on fifteen dogs (n = 8 demodicosis, n = 7 healthy) brought to Veterinary Clinics, Bihar Veterinary College Clinics to determine Antioxidant Status and Lipid Peroxidation in erythrocyte of Demodex canis infested dog. Activity of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and reduced glutathione (GSH) concentration were estimated in erythrocytes of dogs.Activity of CAT, SOD and TBARS concentration were higher in infected dogs than healthy dogs while and GSH concentration was higher in healthy dog than infected dogs.The results of the present study suggest that Demodex canis infestation cause oxidative stress in erythrocyte of dogs.

Keywords: Demodex, SOD, GSH, Antioxidant, CAT
