Abstract

The buffaloes suffering from diaphragmatic hernia were found deficient in their endogenous antioxidant status, which led to overproduction of oxygen free radicals. Over produced oxygen free radicals damage the cell membranes through lipoperoxidation of cellular membranes and develop oxidative stress on different cells and organs.
