Statement of the Problem: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of sevoflurane on total antioxidant capacity in calves. Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: The research was carried out on 15 calves, from newborns to 3-months-old, in operations performed for a variety of reasons. For induction, sevoflurane was given at 5-7% concentration via mask during 15 minutes. Then, endotracheal intubation was performed and the maintenance was set to a concentration of 2.5-4% sevoflurane in 100% oxygen in two hours period. Blood samples were centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 10 minutes at +4�°C and the serum samples were obtained. The samples were maintained at -20�°C until analyses. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) was determined using commercial kits using a spectrophotometer (Eo Biotex, USA). Findings: There was no significant difference recorded on TAC during sevoflurane anesthesia. Conclusion & Significance: It was determined the sevoflurane anesthesia had no adverse effect on total antioxidant capacity in calves.
