Abstract
The present study was performed on 56 clinically healthy dogs and 52 clinically healthy cats, age and sex matched. The reference values of principal parameters of oxidative stress—malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT)—were determined in blood samples of dogs and cats. It was found that MDA plasma concentrations in male dogs were higher than those in females. The same difference was found in cats but the sex difference was much higher. SOD activity did not show any sex differences in dogs or cats. The CAT values were lower in males compared to females in only cats .
