Anestrous condition due to inactive ovaries is a major problem in buffalo-cows especially in summer season, which may decrease the profitability due to prolonged calving interval. The aim of the study was to evaluate the serum concentration of some oxidative biomarkers, metabolic and inflammatory indicators in Egyptian buffalo-cows suffered from inactive ovaries during summer season. Thirty pluriparous Egyptian buffalo-cows were included in the current study, fifteen cows were cyclic and the remaining 15 were, suffering from inactive ovaries. Blood samples were collected from both of the experimental groups for measurement of serum total anti-oxidant capacity (TAC), advanced oxidized protein products (AOPP), non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA), leptin hormone, inflammatory cytokines; tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and inflammatory proteins (C-reactive protein and ceruplasmin). In comparison to normal cyclic buffalo-cows, buffalo cows suffered from ovarian inactivity showed higher concentration of AOOP, TNF-α, IL-1ß, IL-6, C- reactive protein, ceruplasmin and NEFA, but it showed lower concentration of TAC and leptin. The antioxidant/oxidant status and informatory cytokines may be implicated fundamentally in the development of ovarian inactivity.
