Effect of the season on blood changes of oxidative stress index (OSi) in the Italian Mediterranean Buffalo (Bubalis bubalis by Giovanna De Matteis, Emanuela Rossi, Maria Chiara La Mantia, Roberto Steri, Vittoria Lucia Barile, David Meo Zilio

“… The oxidative stress index (OSi) has recently been used as a valid tool for providing an in-depth picture of redox status and oxidative stress. Previous studies in cattle showed that high temperatures increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing an imbalance between ROS and the ability of antioxidant systems to detoxify and remove the reactive intermediates. …”
