Total antioxidant, total oxidant and oxidative stress levels in free-living birds

Antioxidants provide protection against free radicals formed as a result of increased metabolism in living organisms and the damage these cause to cell. For this reason, determining antioxidant levels can help eco-physiologists field understanding physiological state animal at that moment conservation biology. In study, TAC, TOC OSI values 12 Long-legged Buzzards (Buteo rufinus), 7 Common buteo) 6 Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos), 15 Grey Herons (Ardea cinerea), Eurasian Eagle Owls (Bubo bubo) brought rehabilitation centre with injuries due various reasons were examined. First all, physical examinations birds made. They then kept species-specific rooms until recovery. After they rehabilitated, blood was taken from 1-2 days before released into nature. As analysis, found be high Owl, Eagle, Buzzard which diagnosis gunshot wounds, soft tissue trauma, femur or wing fractures. Although reason why individuals diagnoses may trauma experienced by free-living their subsequent detention captivity. treated back nature habitats specific each species.
