The article presents information on a study which evaluated the erythrocyte catalase (CAT) activity and plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) level in ewes and lambs infected with sheep pox. Information is given on lipid peroxidation which refers to a general mechanism whereby free radicals induce tissue damages and involved under several diverse pathological conditions. It discusses the function of free radicals in the development of lesions in animals. It concludes that the increased concentrations of plasma MDA and the reduced CAT in lambs and ewes infected with sheep pox confirmed the occurrence of an oxidative stress and of antioxidant status impairment consequently to the infection. |
