Uterine cysts are one of important contributing factor to subfertility in the mare. There are no data concerning blood oxidant and antioxidant status in mares with lymphatic uterine cysts.

Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate plasma oxidant (malondialdehyde [MDA]) and antioxidant (glutathione [GSH], ß-carotene, vitamin E, glutathione peroxidase [GSH-Px], catalase [CAT]) status in mares with uterine cysts. For this purpose, blood samples were collected from 10 mares with uterine lymphatic cyst and 8 healthy Arabian mares. The age of the mares varied from 15 to 20 years.

There were no significant differences in the concentrations of vitamin E, GSH, MDA and activity of CAT and GSH-Px between groups. However, the concentration of plasma ß-carotene in the mares with uterine cyst was significantly lower (P<0.01) than in the healthy mares.

These results suggested that lower ß-carotene concentration may be one of factors which play role in the pathogenesis of uterine lymphatic cyst.
