It is well known that lutein has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of including lutein-rich powder in the diet of on the growth performance, antioxidant capacity, immunity, liver, and intestinal morphology.

The objective of this study was to explore the spatial connection between urban basic elements and nutrient contents in RDS, using Hanyang district of Wuhan city as a case study area. Total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), exchangeable phosphorus (Ex-P), aluminum-bound phosphorus (Al-P), iron-bound phosphorus (Fe-P), occluded phosphorus (Oc-P), apatite phosphorus (Ca-P), detrital apatite phosphorus (De-P), and organophosphorus (Or-P) were chosen as representative pollutants, using the kernel density of the road network and seven groups of points of interest to represent the spatial distribution of urban basic elements.
