Özet

In the present study, the efficiency of the administration of doramectin (DOR) and DOR + vitamin AD(3)E (VIT), and the influence of these agents on oxidative stress parameters in rabbits infested by Psoroptes cuniculi (P. cuniculi) were investigated. DOR (200 mu g/kg) and DOR (200 mu g/kg) + VIT AD(3)E were administered to infested rabbits intramuscularly (IM). The administration of DOR and DOR + VIT improved the healing of ear lesions on day seven. Increase in the plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) level and erythrocyte catalase (CAT) activity, and decrease in glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities were determined in infested rabbits. In the rabbits which were administered DOR + VIT, plasma MDA levels decreased, and erythrocyte GSH-Px and SOD activities increased on day seven. In conclusion, DOR and DOR + VIT combination were effective against P. cunuculi infestation. Infestation stimulated oxidative stress. VIT treatment resulted in antioxidant activity against oxidative stress induced by P. cuniculi infestation. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
