Background And Aim: The poultry industry faces an emerging muscular defect in chicken meat called white striping (WS). The biological processes associated with WS myopathy are immune system activation, angiogenesis, hypoxia, cell death, and striated muscle contraction. We examined the (), (), and () genes based on their functions related to muscle contraction and the innate immune system.

- Quercetin has been shown to enhance the immune response of chicken heterophils against the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans.
- It reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, promotes phagocytosis, and increases candidacidal activity in these immune cells.
- The study also indicates quercetin's role in improving gene expression related to fungal recognition and reducing inflammation.
