An increase of oxidative stress level, a decrease in the total antioxidant status without changes in the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances was observed through molting cycle. There were a negative correlation between the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity in pre-molt and molt stages. ER -
