Lysophospholipid Supplementation in Broiler Breeders' Diet Benefits Offspring's Productive Performance, Blood Parameters, and Hepatic β-Oxidation Genes.

The present study aimed to investigate whether supplementation of modified lysophospholipids (LPLs) in the diet of broiler breeders can benefit their offspring. A total of 264 49-week-old breeders (Ross 308) were allocated and fed based on a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement with two levels of dietary energy (normal energy = 2800 kcal/kg and low energy = 2760 kcal/kg) and two LPL levels (0 and 0.5 g/kg) for periods of 8 and 12 weeks.

Background: Sperm freezing is an important procedure in assisted reproductive technology. Freezing results in physical and chemical changes in the sperm. () is a tree that has antioxidant properties.

Evaluation of cell-penetrating peptide-peptide nucleic acid effect in the inhibition of cagA in Helicobacter pylori.

Helicobacter pylori is the most common cause of chronic infection in human and is associated with gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and adenocarcinoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue cells. Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is a synthetic compound, which can inhibit the production of a particular gene. This study aimed to investigate the effect of PNA on inhibiting the expression of cagA.
