Abstract :Today, obesity is seen as a serious health problem in domestic cats. Paraoxonase1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PON1); is a negative acute phase protein with anti-inflammatory properties. PON1 is transported by linking to different parts of HDL in the blood and has a protective feature of HDL against oxidation. Telomerase is reverse transcriptase enzyme that synthesizes and protects telomeres. Telomere length becomes shorter due to stress, obesity, and lack of exercise. In this study, paraoxonase1, telomerase enzymes and HDL values in blood serum of obese and non-obese cats were measured and their relationships with each other were evaluated. Body fat ratio in cats with body fat measurement system, those above 30% were evaluated as obese, and those below 30% were evaluated as the control group. Paraoxonase1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);, telomerase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001); and HDL insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.008); values showed a statistically significant difference between the both groups, it was found to be lower in the obese group compared to the control group. As a result; paraoxonase1 and telomerase enzymes which are parameters of oxidative stress and are known to decrease in inflammation, were also found to be decreased in obese cats. The fact that HDL values are lower than the control group is an indicator that there are diseases that occur together with obesity.
