Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the oxidative stress index and redox balance in healthy Van cats and to evaluate it's association with gender, age and eye color. Methods: 80 healthy Van cats from different eye color, gender and age were used in the study. All cats were grouped according to their age (A) as <12 months (A1, n=30), >= 1 and <3 years (A2, n= 22), >= 3 and <5 years (A3, n=12) ve >= 5 years (A4, n= 16); eye color (E) from left to right as blue-blue (E1, n=31), blue-amber (E2, n= 19), amber-blue (E3, n= 12), amber-amber (E4, n= 19) respectively and gender (G) as female (G1, n=43) and male (G2, n=37). Blood serum reactive oxygen species (ROM) and serum antioxidant power (PAO) analyzed and oxydative stress index (OSI) was measured in all groups. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between age, gender and eye color regarding ROM, PAO and OSI in healthy Van cats. Mean ROM (H2O2/dL), PAO (HClO/ml) and OSI CarrU/(
