Tryptophan and/or canthaxanthin in quail diets: effects on performance, carcass traits, hematology, blood chemistry and hepatic antioxidant capacity.

To enhance the health and performance of poultry, novel approaches have to be created. Using appropriate nutritional interventions to enhance body physiology and thus enhance productivity is one of these approaches. The purpose of the present investigation intended to examine how growing quail physiology and growth is affected by supplementing diets with tryptophan (Trp) and/or canthaxanthin (CX).

Effect of gum Arabic as natural prebiotic on intestinal ecosystem of post-hatched broiler chicks.

The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of gum Arabic supplementation on short-chain fatty acids, cecal microbiota, immune-related gene expression, and small intestinal morphology in post-hatched broiler chicks. On the day of hatching, four hundred thirty-two commercial male broiler chicks were randomly allocated into six treatments with twelve cages as replicates of six chicks each for 24 days. Dietary treatments (T1 to T6) were supplemented with 0.

Implication of Let7b/AhR/ARNT/HMGB1/RAGE cascade in neuroplasticity disturbances induced by glucocorticoids and the promising reversible effect of 3,3 diindolymethane: Bidirectional crosstalk of Aryl hydrocarbon receptors.

Prolonged exposure to glucocorticoids (GC) disrupts neuronal architecture, hinders neuroplasticity, and triggers neuroinflammation. However, the precise underlying mechanisms have not been studied yet. The current study aimed to investigate the mechanisms of GC-induced neuroinflammatory effects by stimulating the miRNA let7b, aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)/ARNT, HMGB1/RAGE, and other downstream targets.
