background the molecular mechanism of hepatitis c-virus (hcv) genome-specific pathogenesis remains unclear. oxidative stress is an important pathophysiological mechanism in chronic hcv infection, but its relation to hcv genotypes has not been thoroughly examined. objectives in the present case-control study, the effect of diverse hcv genotypes on oxidative status changes was investigated. patie...

The study was carried out to assess whether hot seasons affect the oxidative status of transition dairy cows. Twenty Holstein cows were utilized. Eleven of those cows gave birth in spring; the remaining nine cows gave birth in summer. Oxidative status was evaluated from 21 d before to 35 d after calving, determining oxidative markers in plasma [glutathione peroxidase activity, thiol groups, rea...

The present study evaluated and compared the oxidative stress status of dogs undergoing laparoscopic or open ovariectomy. Twelve healthy female dogs were divided into two groups according to the type of the surgical procedure, laparoscopic or open ovariectomy. Plasma total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) levels for the evaluation of oxidativ...
