Supplementation of xanthophylls decreased proinflammatory and increased anti-inflammatory cytokines in hens and chicks – CORRIGENDUM

Abstract

The authors are sorry to say that an error appears in the published version of the paper by Gao et al.(1) .In experiment 1: "(containing 20·07 and 30·94 mg/kg xanthophylls, as we determined, respectively)" should in fact read: "(containing 20·07 and 39·94 mg/kg xanthophylls, as we determined, respectively)".

Effects of Barranca yajiagengensis Powder in the Diet of Trachinotus ovatus on the Growth Performance, Antioxidant Capacity, Immunity and Morphology of the Liver and Intestine

“…The current results indicated that B. yajiagengensis has anti-inflammatory properties and potently suppresses inflammatory responses in the liver, which may be mainly attributed to the lutein contained in B. yajiagengensis . Lutein exhibits anti-inflammatory activity by decreasing inflammatory proteins and pro-inflammatory cytokines, and increasing anti-inflammatory cytokines [ 26 , 27 , 28 ]. In addition, midgut morphological examination showed no obvious pathological alterations among all diet treatments.…”

Sources, dynamics in vivo, and application of astaxanthin and lutein in laying hens: A review

“…Lutein can also regulate the response index of immunity and inflammation in hens. Gao et al. (2015) found that a supplemental xanthophylls mixture (lutein to zeaxanthin ratio = 40:60) decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL1β, IL6, interferon γ and TNF-α, and increased anti-inflammatory cytokine expression of IL4 and IL10 in breeding hens and chicks.…”
