ABSTRACT
One of the initial responses of the host's innate immunity of newborns against pathogens is the use of oxidative enzymes. This study aimed to evaluate changes in serum xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) activity, the leukocyte myeloperoxidase (MPO) and XOR genes expression, and some biochemical parameters in healthy Darehshuri newborn foals up to 60 days of life. Blood samples were collected from 16 foals at 1, 7, 15, 30, and 60 days and used for detecting XOR activity, biochemical parameters, and also gene expression by real-time RT-PCR. High activity of XOR was observed at birth, explained by physiologic hypoxia during the birth without sex difference. The significant decrease in XOR activity during the following days is probably related to the decreased levels of substrate and feedback inhibition of XOR by uric acid. No correlations were found between XOR activity and uric acid. A positive correlation was observed between XOR mRNA and serum XOR activity in 15 days. The results also indicate higher levels of MPO gene expression at 30 days, which may be associated with their capacity for neutrophil phagocytosis. The concentrations of creatinine, total protein, and albumin were higher at birth, whereas uric acid level was lower (P < 0.05). It can be concluded that XOR activity decreases with age and there is no significant change in its gene expression and MPO expression increases with age and is sex-dependent. There is an influence of age on XOR activity, leukocyte expression of MPO, and biochemical parameters in healthy newborn foals up to 60 days of life.
