ABSTRACT
Chalmeh A, Pourjafar M, Badiei
K, Nazifi S, Setayesh A, Naghib M., Changes in circulating trace elements and
antioxidant vitamins during aging in camels, Onl J
Vet Res., 18(3): 287-292, 2014. Changes in circulating trace elements and
antioxidant vitamins during aging in camels are reported. Groups of 6 healthy
dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius) each were assigned into 1, 1-3, 4-6, 7-9
>10 year old groups. Blood samples were collected and analyzed for zinc,
copper, selenium, vitamins A, E and C. Serum concentrations of copper and vitamin A
increased with aging whereas selenium and vitamin C decreased. Copper and vitamin A may maintain antioxidative properties in aged camels. The findings show
changing patterns of oxidative stress biomarkers during aging in camels.
Keywords: aging, oxidative stress, vitamins and trace
elements, dromedary camels.
