Relation of antioxidant status at admission and disease severity and outcome in dogs naturally infected with Babesia canis canis

Table 5 Values of biomarkers of oxidative stress in dogs with babesiosis according to severity of anaemia

*	Non-anaemic (N 17)	Mildly anaemic (N 16)	Moderately anaemic (N 6)
SOD (U/mL)	0.22 ^a (0.19–0.25)	0.17 ^b (0.15–0.18)	0.10 ^c (0.07–0.14)
GPx (U/L)	63,761.79 ^a (59,413.29–76,193.72)	64,598.96 ^a (49,248.25–77,186.53)	36,238.04 ^b (23,134.80–42,991.35)
Catalase (U/L)	4983.58 ^a (3072.30–7022.41)	5842.74 ^a (2423.70–7178.58)	2145.59 ^b (1199.79–5087.84)
TAS (mmol/L)	0.97 ^a (0.91–1.13)	0.97 ^a (0.87–1.08)	1.05 ^a (0.75–1.35)
MDA (μmol/L)	3.21 ^b (2.41–4.50)	5.09 ^a (4.41–6.23)	7.9 ^a (4.39–12.63)

Median (25–75 percentile). Different superscripted small letters (a-c) in each row indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) and the same superscripted letters indicate no statistical difference. Also, a → c signifies highest to lowest value
*Since there was only one severely anaemic dog statistic analysis could not be preformed
