“…These bioactive compounds have been proven to possess health benefits, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and hepatoprotective effects, in animals [57]. They can also improves meat quality by regulating lipid metabolism and antioxidant capacity [58]. The increase of bioactive compounds in common carp muscle may be attributed to the absorption, metabolism, and accumulation of Pro.…”

Proanthocyanidins (Pros), a natural polyphenolic compound found in grape seed and other plants, have received significant attention as additives in animal feed. However, the specific mechanism by which Pros affect fish health remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the potential effects of dietary Pro on common carp by evaluating biochemical parameters and multi-omics analysis. The results showed that Pro supplementation improved antioxidant capacity and the contents of polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 and n-6) and several bioactive compounds. Transcriptomic analysis demonstrated that dietary Pro caused an upregulation of the sphingolipid catabolic process and the lysosome pathway, while simultaneously downregulating intestinal cholesterol absorption and the PPAR signaling pathway in the intestines. Compared to the normal control (NC) group, the Pro group exhibited higher diversity in intestinal microbiota and an increased relative abundance of Cetobacterium and Pirellula. Furthermore, the Pro group had a lower Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio and a decreased relative abundance of potentially pathogenic bacteria. Collectively, dietary Pro improved antioxidant ability, muscle nutrients, and the diversity and composition of intestinal microbiota. The regulation of lipid metabolism and improvement in muscle nutrients were linked with changes in the intestinal microbiota.

“…Copper is the third most prevalent transition metal ion found in living things is copper, which is present everywhere [117,118] . It plays an important role in various physiological and pathological processes such as iron absorption, free radical detoxification, preserving nerves and blood vessels, cellular energy generation, acting as a neurotransmitter, and also, acts as a co‐factor in numerous enzymes like cytochrome c oxidase, tyrosinase, ferroxidases, superoxide dismutase and lysyl oxidase [119–121] . However, if present at more than the permissible level it can lead to toxicity, renal disease, nausea, vomiting, and brain damage and can give rise to neurodegenerative diseases like Wilson disease, familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer and Menke's disease.…”

The advancement of optical chemosensors has achieved success with the advent of Supramolecular Chemistry. Unlike other scaffolds, the 1,8‐naphthalimide motif has emerged as an excellent fluorescent chemosensor due to its photophysical properties like thermostability, cytotoxicity, membrane permeability, selectivity, and sensitivity. The naphthalimide scaffold is distinctive in its ways of tracking biological analytes and diagnosing its role in various diseases. This review provides insight into current developments in the synthesis and designing of 1,8‐naphthalimide‐based chemosensors for the recognition of metal ions, its mechanistic approach for its sensitivity, selectivity, and practical applications in a real environment. We hope that this review will aid to develop a novel approach to sense toxic analytes in real water samples and improve real‐time applications.

Laiwu black goats comprise an excellent local germplasm resource; however, a shortage of feed resources has led to the application of unconventional feed. Ginger straw feed has good physiological effects, but research on this feed source for ruminant animals is lacking. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of enzymatic silage ginger straw on Laiwu black goat performance. The experiment used an independent sample t-test analysis method; 24 healthy Laiwu black goats with a body weight of 20.05 ± 1.15 kg and age of 5.67 ± 0.25 months were randomly divided into two groups with three replicates (bars) per group and four goats per replicate. The experimental diet was composed of mixed concentrate, silage, and garlic peel at a 2:7:1 ratio. The silage used in the two groups was whole corn silage (CON group) and 60% whole corn silage plus 40% enzymatic silage ginger straw (SG group), and the other components were identical. Daily feed intake/daily gain (F/G) was significantly higher in the SG group than in the CON group (p < 0.05), but there were no significant differences in dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and acid detergent fiber (ADF) digestibility between the groups. The shear force, cooking loss, centrifugal loss, and pressure loss of the longissimus dorsi muscle group were significantly lower in the SG than in the CON group (p < 0.05). Compared with those in the CON group, the serum and liver total antioxidant capacity was significantly increased in the SG group, and in the liver, the O2·−, malondialdehyde, and OH· contents were significantly decreased. Collectively, the rumen fluid microbial diversity was changed in the SG group. It was concluded that enzymatic silage ginger straw usage instead of 40% whole silage corn as feed for Laiwu black goats can significantly improve the muscle quality, antioxidant capacity, and intestinal flora, with no adverse effects on production performance. In conclusion, our study provides a basis for ginger straw processing and storage and its rational application in the Laiwu black goat diet.
