Abstract
Oxidative Stress and Haemolytic Anaemia In Dogs and Cats: A Comparative Approach
Highlights
Red cells occupy a unique position within the vertebrate body
They are enucleated and lack cytoplasmic organelles [1]. They are unable to carry out ribosomal protein synthesis or mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. They are dependent upon glycolysis for whatever ATP supply is required to maintain their osmotic integrity, through various ion pumps, and for other energy requiring events, like synthesis of reduced glutathione, one of their main antioxidant defences [2, 3]
All vertebrate red cells have the main task of carriage of blood gases, oxygen from respiratory tissues and carbon dioxide from metabolically active tissues
