Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a significant pollutant found in food and feed, posing a threat to public health. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (LACP) against AFB1 in growing rabbits by investigating growth, serum metabolites, immunity, antioxidant capacity, and inflammatory response. A total of 60 growing male rabbits (721.

Article Synopsis
  • Heat stress negatively affects rabbit growth, immunity, and productivity, prompting research into alginate oligosaccharides (AOS) as a potential dietary supplement to mitigate these effects.
  • In an experiment with four groups of rabbits fed diets containing varying amounts of AOS, results showed significant improvement in feed conversion rates and body weight gains, particularly with higher AOS concentrations (100 and 150 mg/kg).
  • AOS supplementation led to enhanced immune responses with increased nitric oxide and lysosome activity, while also decreasing harmful cytokine levels, suggesting AOS could serve as an effective bio-feed additive for managing heat stress in rabbits.

Aims: Hyperglycemia-mediated oxidative damage has been described as a major mechanism leading to pathologic changes associated with diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Fisetin is a bioactive flavonol molecule found in many plants and possesses various biological activities. The present study investigated the protective effect of fisetin on diabetes-induced cardiac injury.
