ABSTRACT
Oxidants are the compounds which are capable of oxidising target molecules. Oxidants are produced from various endobiotic and xenobiotic sources. Oxidants oxidises the target molecules and leads to damaging effects on various cellular components e.g. lipid, proteins and DNA. To counteract the harmful effects of oxidants, the antioxidant system plays an important role in individual. Antioxidant system comprises the non enzymatic components and a series of antioxidant enzymes. Enzymatic components mainly include glutathione, vitamin C and vitamin E. Major antioxidant enzymes include superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase. Imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants in favour of oxidants leads to oxidative stress. This review aims to focus on the various aspects of the oxidative stress and the involvement of the oxidative stress in an important haemoprotozoan disease, bovine tropical theileriosis.
Key words: Xenobiotic, Lipid, Proteins, DNA, Antioxidant
