Structural and metabolic disturbances in erythrocytes and possibility for their correction in calves during bronchopneumonia

In calves of the Black-and-White breed diseased by bronchopneumonia in various degrees the authors evaluated the osmotic resistance and the sorption ability in erythrocytes, their tolerance to HC1, the intensity of lipids peroxidation, the state of antioxidant system and the content of substances with medium and low molecular mass before the treatment and in connection with the scheme of treatment (traditional therapy and additional application of extract from medicinal herbs). The great disbalance between the intensity of lipids peroxidation and total antioxidant activity in erythrocytes was observed during more serious bronchopneumonia with strongly pronounced endotoxicosis.
