Abstract
Circulating Redox Status in the Bedouin Egyptian Oases Camels (Camelus dromedaries) During the Peripartum Period
Highlights
Camels bear exceptional genotypes and phenotypes that are different from any other well-being for metabolic processes and adaptation to the harsh environment (Faye and Bengoumi, 2018; Tibary and El Allali, 2020)
The cumulative Total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and oxidative stress index (OSI) values did not differ during the peripartum period, but the values of the TOS and TAC increased compared with the BL value
Our results show stability of redox oxidative stress (ROS) concentrations with a transitory significant increase only at the time of calving
Summary
Camels bear exceptional genotypes and phenotypes that are different from any other well-being for metabolic processes and adaptation to the harsh environment (Faye and Bengoumi, 2018; Tibary and El Allali, 2020). The peripartum period in camels is characterized by acute inflammatory processes and fluctuations in metabolic and hormonal homeostasis (Tharwat et al, 2015; Tharwat and Al-Sobayil, 2015; Ahmadpour et al, 2019). These alterations in the physiological conditions trigger neutrophils, macrophages and enhance the generation of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 1 (IL-1), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and other chemotactic factors such as IL-8 (Celi and Gabai, 2015), and provoke the generation of free radicals and pro-oxidants (Abuelo, et al, 2019)
