Antioxidative and Oxidative Profiles in Plasma and Saliva in Dairy Cows during Pregnancy

Increased metabolism that occurs during pregnancy can result in oxidative stress which is harmful to cells and, consequently, for the proper functioning of the whole organism. Plasma and recently also saliva are important resources for evaluating physiological and pathological conditions in animals....
