Опубликована: Март 14, 2025

Ischemic stroke is one of the major causes disability and mortality in aged people. A better understanding pathology, mechanism, diagnosis treatment might have important practical implications for patient clinical management, especially patients. Affected by cerebral ischemia, neurons are not capable maintaining cellular respiration metabolism, leading to excitotoxicity calcium overload, which further induce oxidative stress. During stress process, reactive oxygen species massively produced, involved regulation diverse biological processes including lipid, DNA, protein signaling pathways. This review aimed provide a comprehensive overview ischemic stroke, particularly occurred elderly. Our topics included pathogenesis role plays occurrence development. Additionally, stress-related diagnostic methods antioxidant therapies use discussed. With focus perspective on patients, we expect our can contribute guide acknowledgment suggesting preventive toward antioxidant-based therapy as novel therapeutic alternative

Effects of high dietary threonine supplementation on growth performance, health biomarkers, and intestinal histology in cyclic heat-stressed broilers

Veterinary World, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown, С. 646 - 657

Опубликована: Март 1, 2025

Heat stress (HS) negatively impacts poultry production by reducing growth performance and compromising physiological health. Nutritional strategies, particularly amino acid supplementation, are explored to mitigate these adverse effects. This study evaluates the impact of high dietary threonine supplementation on performance, health biomarkers, oxidative status, meat quality, intestinal histology in cyclic HS broilers. A total 288 1-day-old Hubbard broilers were randomly allocated six treatment groups: Thermoneutral, control, supplemented with 125% (HS-125), 150% (HS-150), 175% (HS-175), 200% (HS-200) NRC-recommended threonine. Birds groups exposed (35°C, 75% relative humidity) from day 22 42. Growth was recorded weekly, while parameters, markers, jejunal analyzed post-exsanguination. significantly reduced body weight gain feed intake, did not improve parameters. However, liver weight, serum albumin, cholesterol levels improved at higher doses (175%-200%). Threonine also corticosterone malondialdehyde levels, suggesting enhanced resilience. Superoxide dismutase activity, an indicator defense, threonine-supplemented groups. In histology, acidic goblet cells increased, intraepithelial lymphocyte infiltration decreased birds 175%-200% threonine, indicating gut integrity. Meat quality attributes, including crude protein stability, showed minor but inconsistent variations across treatments. Although (175%-200%) resilience enhancing health, selected biomarkers broilers, however, it failed enhance performance. These findings suggest that supports adaptations under HS, its use as a promoter conditions may be economically viable. Further studies warranted optimize balance for productivity.

Green Tea Polyphenol Epigallocatechin-3-gallate Mediates an Antioxidant Response via Nrf2 Pathway in Heat-Stressed Poultry: A Review

Poultry Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 104(5), С. 105071 - 105071

Опубликована: Март 20, 2025

Heat stress is a critical challenge in the poultry industry. It arises when birds are exposed to elevated ambient temperatures beyond their thermoneutral zone, often exacerbated by high humidity and inadequate ventilation. This condition disrupts birds' ability maintain thermal homeostasis, leading physiological behavioral changes such as increased panting, reduced feed intake, water consumption. These responses aim dissipate heat but result energy imbalances, oxidative stress, impaired immune function. Green tea polyphenols (GTPs) mitigate modulating pathways, primarily scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) enhancing antioxidant defense mechanisms. pathways play pivotal role neutralizing ROS generated during inflammation, exposure electrophilic compounds. action helps restore cellular balance enhances overall mechanisms converting harmful free radicals into less molecules, oxygen. Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) plays significant character activation of enzymatic antioxidants network. translocates nucleus upon activation, binds response elements (AREs) promoter regions target genes, upregulates expression key enzymes. Therefore, regulation Nrf2 considered molecular marker mitigating effects its detoxification enzymes, protecting against damage inflammation induced temperatures. exploratory review summarizes anti-oxidative GTPs poultry. highlights cytoprotective basis epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), particularly Nrf2-mediated which enhance systems protect damage.

Dietary micronized hemp fiber enhances in vitro nutrient digestibility and cecal fermentation, antioxidant enzyme, lysosomal activity, and productivity in finisher broilers reared under thermal stress

Frontiers in Animal Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 6

Опубликована: Март 26, 2025

Introduction Heat stress impairs broiler performance and exacerbates oxidative stress. Hemp ( Cannabis sativa L. ) contains cannabidiol (CBD) other bioactive compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory properties, which may enhance health status overall in broilers. This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary micronized hemp fiber (MHF) supplementation on vitro nutrient digestibility, cecal fermentation, antioxidant enzyme activity, lysosomal function, productivity finisher broilers reared under a thermal environment. Methods At 21 days age, 210 uniform body weight were randomly allocated three treatments: basal diet (CON), diets supplemented MHF at 0.75% (L-MHF) or 1.50% (H-MHF). Birds had ad libitum access until 42 age. Results Compared CON, there was no effect (p > 0.05) true digestibility dry matter, organic crude protein, ether extract, gross energy. Similarly, gas production various incubation times rate extent from fermentation did not differ 0.05). However, analysis revealed that total volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentrations, including acetic, propionic, butyric acids, significantly higher < 0.01) L-MHF H-MHF groups.

The use of growth promoters in broiler feed is a common practice to enhance efficiency and accelerate rates. Ciprofloxacin, widely used antibiotic poultry farming, promotes disease prevention but raises concerns about residues meat the development resistance. This study examines dietary effects WH ciprofloxacin on rate, conversion ratio (FCR), quality, muscle histology. Ninety broilers were randomly assigned one three groups: control group, WH-supplemented group (2.5% daily feed), (Cipro) (8 mg/kg body weight). Feed consumption weight monitored daily, after sacrifice, breast muscles collected for quality assessment histopathological analysis. supplementation significantly improved (P < 0.05) gain, broilers. Compared groups, WH-treated exhibited lower cooking drip loss 0.05), higher water-holding capacity 0.01), reduced shear force value indicating texture. Ciprofloxacin treatment resulted redness 0.001) increased yellowness while lightness remained unchanged across groups. Histological analysis revealed greater perimysium thickness intermuscular adipose infiltration broilers, suggesting enhanced structure. presents safer, sustainable alternative antibiotics production.
