Exploring the effects of lysozyme dietary supplementation on laying hens: performance, egg quality, and immune response.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the dietary supplementation with lysozyme's impacts on laying performance, egg quality, biochemical analysis, body immunity, and intestinal morphology. A total of 720 Jingfen No. 1 laying hens (53 weeks old) were randomly assigned into five groups, with six replicates in each group and 24 hens per replicate.

The cytoprotective effects of dihydromyricetin and associated metabolic pathway changes on deoxynivalenol treated IPEC-J2 cells.

In this study, we investigated the cytoprotective effects of dihydromyricetin (DHM) against deoxynivalenol (DON)-induced toxicity and accompanied metabolic pathway changes in porcine jejunum epithelial cells (IPEC-J2). The cells were incubated in 250 ng/ml DON cotreated with 40 µM DHM, followed by toxicity analysis, oxidative stress reaction analysis, inflammatory response analysis and metabolomic analysis. The results showed that DHM significantly increased the cell viability (P < 0.

Impact of Gallic Acid on Gut Health: Focus on the Gut Microbiome, Immune Response, and Mechanisms of Action.

Gallic acid (GA) is a naturally occurring polyphenol compound present in fruits, vegetables, and herbal medicines. According to previous studies, GA has many biological properties, including antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. GA and its derivatives have multiple industrial uses, such as food supplements or additives.
