Antioxidants provide protection against free radicals formed as a result of increased metabolism in living organisms and the damage these radicals cause to the cell. Determining the antioxidant levels can help eco-physiologists in the field in understanding the physiological state of the animal at that moment and in conservation biology. In this study, TOC (Total Oxidant Capacity), TAC (Total Antioxidant Capacity) and OSI (Oxidative Stress Index) values of 12 Long-legged Buzzards (Buteo rufinus), 7 Common Buzzards (Buteo buteo) and 6 Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos), 15 Grey Herons (Ardea cinerea), 7 Eurasian Eagle Owls (Bubo bubo) brought to rehabilitation centre with injuries due to various reasons were examined. The birds brought to the center were first examined physically. Species-specific rooms were kept until each bird had recovered. After being rehabilitated, blood was taken from the birds 1-2 days before being released into the wild. As a result of blood analysis, TOC and OSI values were found to be high in Eurasian Eagle Owl, Golden Eagle, Long-legged Buzzard and Common Buzzards which were brought with a diagnosis of gunshot wounds, soft tissue trauma, femur or wing fractures. Although these birds had been rehabilitated, the reason for the high TOC and OSI values in individuals with these diagnoses may be the trauma experienced by these free-living birds in nature and then being held in captivity. After the birds were treated and rehabilitated, they were released back to nature in habitats specific to each species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
