Abstract :Oxidative stress plays an important role in the etiology and/or progression of a number of diseases and aging. In this cross-sectional study, some oxidative stress biomarkers insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(malondialdehyde [MDA] as a lipid peroxidation biomarker, ferric reducing/antioxidant power [FRAP], and total nonprotein SH groups); in plasma samples of Shaal ewes of different age groups were assessed. For all 3 measured parameters, the youngest age group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(10-30 months old); had the lowest amounts. Although FRAP levels increased slightly and age dependently, nonprotein SH group content showed a decreasing trend after a peak in the 31-50 months group. The highest MDA concentration was observed in the oldest group. Our results suggest a relation between age and oxidative stress parameters in the early life of Shaal ewes. It also showed an age dependent increase in FRAP levels.
