Impact of recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) on selected antioxidants in horses

Abstract

The aim of this review was to collect the most important data on the characteristics of selected antioxidants in horses with recurrent airway obstruction (RAO). RAO is one of the most common respiratory diseases in horses. This disease can not be cured, but we can try to stop its progression. It is not exactly known, what is the real contribution of antioxidants in the pathology of recurrent airway obstruction. Many researchers investigated the possibility of using antioxidant supplementation in horses with RAO.
