      Biological Antioxidant Potential in Donkey Mares and Foals.

AB  - Our aim was to measure the concentrations of derived reactive oxygen metabolite 
      (d-ROMs) and biological antioxidant potential (BAP) of donkey mares and foals at 
      delivery and to verify the protective role of the placenta against fetal 
      oxidative stress. A total of 15 Amiata jennies with a physiological gestation 
      length and delivery were included together with 17 foals (two twin foalings). 
      After delivery, maternal and foal venous blood samples were collected along with 
      blood from the artery. Circulating lactate and plasma d-ROMs and BAP were 
      evaluated. The Wilcoxon test for paired data was applied to verify differences in 
      d-ROMs and BAP values, while the Spearman test was used to evaluate correlations. 
      A significantly higher d-ROMs concentration was found in jennies compared to 
      their foals, and to the umbilical artery blood. The BAP was higher in jennies 
      than in their foals, but no differences were observed in the umbilical artery 
      blood. No difference was found between foals and their umbilical cord. Blood 
      lactate was higher in foals than in their dams. Positive correlations were found 
      between mares and umbilical cord for BAP and d-ROMs, and between mares and foals 
      and umbilical cord for BAP. In conclusion, the placenta may be a protective 
      factor for the fetus. As with equine foals, the antioxidant system of donkey 
      foals does not seems to be effective at birth.
