Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the expression of Mn-SOD and Cu, Zn-SOD mRNA in relation to physiological index of Sahiwal and Karan-Fries. Six numbers each of Sahiwal and Karan-Fries heifers in the age group of 2 to 2.5 years were exposed at 45±1oC and 50% relative humidity (RH) inside a psychrometric chamber for 4 h. Respiration rate (RR), heart rate (HR) and rectal temperature (RT) were recorded to calculate Dairy Search Index (DSI). Blood samples collected at 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 h of heat exposure were used for isolation of lymphocytes and subsequent estimation of Mn-SOD and Cu, Zn-SOD mRNA expression by RT-PCR. RR and RT increased after 1 h in both the breeds while HR was not affected by heat exposure. Heat exposure increased DSI of Sahiwal and Karan-Fries after 2 and 1 h, respectively. Expression of Mn-SOD and Cu, Zn-SOD mRNA of both the breeds were not influenced by heat exposure. The two breeds exhibited similar RR, RT, HR, DSI, Mn-SOD and Cu, Zn-SOD mRNA expression during heat exposure.
