Popis: The study aimed to evaluate oxidative stress markers (ROS, GPx, GRx) in skin tissue of cattle with different coat colors during different seasons. Ten each of Tharparkar (zebu) and Karan Fries (crossbred) heifers were selected from NDRI herd, Karnal. Animals were maintained under standard managemental practices followed at the farm. Skin biopsies were aseptically collected from each animal during winter, spring and summer. ROS, GPx, GRx were determined by ELISA. Real time PCR was performed to examine the expression of skin color genes (MC1R and PMEL) in skin tissue. In both the breeds, significantly higher (P
