| Abstract This research included a study of oxidant and antioxidant levels in camel milk and local buffalo milk and its relation with lactoperoxidase activity (LP) by measuring (11) biochemical parameters which include: lactoperoxidase (LP), glutathione S- transferase (GST),vitamin E, vitamin C, ceruloplasmin (Cp), albumin, glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), peroxinitrate (ONOO-), calcium and uric acid. The study was carried out on (39) samples of milk (14) samples of camel milk and (25) samples of buffalo milk. Results revealed a significant increase in camel milk compared to buffalo milk in the level of: vitamin E, Cp, GSH and Uric acid, while a significant decrease of LP, GST, Albumin, MDA and Peroxynitrite. The results demonstrated that there was a significant negative correlation between GST, vitamin E and GSH with LP and significant positive correlation for MDA with LP. There was a non-significant positive correlation for vitamin C, alb. and uric acid and a non-significant negative correlation in Cp, Ca, and peroxynitrate with LP for both camel and buffalo milk | ||
