“…In Sudan, plasma vitamin E on young camels varied between 0.3 and 1.65 ng/mL [20]. Comparable references were reported by AlSenaidy [26] and Mousa et al [27]. Those values were lower than those reported in cattle [28].…”

Eight young female camels shared in four groups of two 2 years received a basal diet enriched respectively with 0, 2, 4, and 8 mg selenium under sodium selenite form for 64 days. Feed intake was assessed daily; blood samples were taken on weekly basis. One camel from each group was killed at the end of the experiment. Se concentration in serum was increased significantly in the supplemented groups with an average of 176.3 +/- 18.0 ng/mL in the control group, 382.7 +/- 107.6 in the group receiving 2 mg Se, 519.8 +/- 168.4 in the group receiving 4 mg Se, and 533.4 +/- 158.6 in the group receiving 8 mg Se daily. For glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity, the control group (51.0 IU/g Hb) and the group receiving 2 mg (50.5 IU/g Hb) were significantly different than groups receiving 4 and 8 mg (respectively, 65.9 and 76.1 IU/g Hb). No significant variation occurred for vitamin E (mean, 0.56 +/- 0.23 ng/mL). Significant correlation between serum Se and GSH-Px was reported. Kidney was the richest organ in selenium followed by lung, spleen, and liver, but the increase in supplemented groups was more marked in liver and kidney. The hair seemed to be the best indicator of selenium intake in camel.

Twelve female camels divided into three groups received, after a 2-week adaptation period, an oral Se supplementation (0, 2, and 4 mg, respectively) under sodium selenite form for 3 months. Feed intake was assessed daily, blood samples and body weight were taken on a weekly basis, and feces and urine samples were collected every 2 weeks up to 1 month after the end of the supplementation period. The Se concentration in serum was increased significantly in supplemented groups. The maximum level was observed in the period of supplementation in the camel receiving 4 mg (492.5 ng/mL), which was fourfold higher than the value at the beginning of the trial (126 to 138.5 ng/mL according to the groups). The selenium concentration increased significantly in urine and feces but to a lesser extent. A similar trend was observed with glutathione-peroxidase (GSH-Px) values varying between 8.4 and 96.5 IU/g Hb. However, no difference occurred between the two groups receiving 2 or 4 mg Se at the supplementation period. Vitamin E (mean 1.13 +/- 0.61 microg/mL with range 0.27-3.09) did not change significantly. Significant correlations were reported between serum Se, GSH-Px, fecal, and urinary excretion or concentration.

“…These results showed Iranian camels antoxidant capacity is lower than human or ships, but MDA levels is lower than human and ships. About camels the variation in antioxidant levels compared with human, sheep and goat maybe due to adaptation with specific environmental and nutritional condition (Mousa et al 2006).…”

“…No correlation was found between total thiol groups content in serum and plasma. Mousa et al 2006 measured erythrocytic lipid peroxides and plasma total thiol groups content of young and adult camels (camelus dromedaries) in Saudi Arabia. Erythrocytic MDA was about 1.34±0.08 and 1.43±0.07 (nmol MDA/mg protein) in young and adult camels, respectively.…”

“…The idea is to get a complete picture of the oxidative stress state in the body by looking at the levels of markers for the ongoing oxidative damage in serum, and plasma samples (Argqelles et al 2004). Camels have some biochemical, anatomical and physiological peculiarities which make them adapted to arid environment and poor feeding and drinking resources (Mousa et al 2006).…”

In this study, we measured some oxidative stress biomarkers, MDA and total thiol groups content in plasma along by this parameters in serum and Ferric Reducing Ability of Plasma (FRAP) of camels. The present study was undertaken first to establish a background of free radical damage status and second to comparison these levels in serum and plasma. To accomplish this, blood samples from 50 male Dromedary clinically healthy adult camels aged 24-48 months were collected. The correlation between serum and plasma levels was calculated for MDA and total thiol groups content. Our results revealed that only lipid peroxides in serum could be useful to predict the oxidative stress in plasma significantly (P≤0.05).
