Peculiarities of lipid peroxidation processes in the body of cats with urinary tract diseases and their correction with commercial feeds

Abstract

The article presents the results of studies on the effect of commercial food on the processes of free radical oxidation of lipids in the body of cats with urinary tract pathology. It has been found that the concentration of diene conjugates in the blood serum of sick animals increases significantly by 15.1 - 36.7% relative to healthy ones. The MDA content in the blood serum of healthy animals was 6.05 ± 0.28 nmol / g. In animals with urolithiasis, this indicator increased by about 2 times. When feeding with commercial food and homemade food, LPO processes normalize, which is most pronounced on the 21st day. The average activity of catalase in the blood serum of sick animals was increased from 30.6% to 40.2% relative to healthy ones (15.15 ± 0.61 ?mol / ml). After feeding with therapeutic and prophylactic fodders, by the 7th day, the catalase activity did not significantly decrease compared to the initial level, but remained higher than in control animals by 19.6% - 37.1%. On the 14th day, the catalase activity did not change significantly compared with the 7th day and was higher than the control values by 21.5% - 27.5%.
