Abstract

In the present study, plasma lead, cadmium, arsenic and nickel concentrations and oxidative stress parameters in buffaloes residing near Buddha Nallah region were evaluated. Blood samples of 59 buffaloes were collected for the study and plasma was separated and analyzed for heavy metal levels and for oxidative stress parameters like reduced glutathione,malonyldialdehyde and superoxide dismutase. Significant increase in plasma heavy metal concentrations was recorded in the buffaloes of the region and significant decrease in GSH and SOD and significant increase in MDA levels were also recorded in the buffaloes of the region. Samples with higher levels of heavy metals depicted oxidative damage in the animals residing near Buddha Nallah area of the Ludhiana city.
