Avian photopic curves show energy peaks at different wavelengths than humans, particularly in the ultraviolet, yellow, and red range. Therefore, an illumination system with a spectrum tailored for laying hens, encompassing the entire visible spectrum, can enhance performance and welfare. The primary contribution of this study was the development of two Spectral Power Distributions (SPDs) specifically designed for laying hens, with different spectral proportions (S1 and S2), and the evaluation of their effects on productive performance, egg quality, and hormonal levels, compared to conventional white lighting at 3000 K (C).

Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells differentiate into oligodendrocytes, which myelinate axons during development and following demyelinating injury. However, the mechanisms that drive the timing and specificity of developmental myelination are not well understood. We hypothesized that oligodendrocyte progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation would be affected by pathological neuronal activity during adolescent development when developmental myelination is occurring and that this would also impact neuron-to-oligodendrocyte progenitor cell connectivity and myelination.

Article Synopsis
  • The review focused on identifying phenolic compounds in pitayas (dragon fruit) through literature published from 2013 to 2023.
  • After analyzing 601 studies, 57 were selected, revealing that these compounds have health benefits such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as potential treatments for cancer, diabetes, and obesity.
  • Key findings included the prevalence of flavonoids like kaempferol and rutin, plus various acids and betalains, hinting at their use as natural colorants in the food industry and suggesting the need for more research on their nutritional benefits.
