“…GSH-PX protects cell membranes from damage by specifically catalyzing the reduction of peroxides through reduced glutathione content ( Muhlisin et al, 2016 ; Luo et al, 2022b ). In the present study, crossbreeding decreased the GSH-Px activity and T-AOC of the breast and thigh muscles of geese, which was consistent with previous findings ( Surai et al, 2019 ; Mahmoudi et al, 2022 ).…”

“…However, the pH 24 results obtained in the present study (5.90-6.21) fell within the range of meat suitable for technological processing. According to Mahmoudi et al [11], meat with a pH below 5.7, characterized by pale color and a firm texture after cooking and commonly referred to as "acid" meat, is not suitable for processing. Meat with excessively high pH (>6.20) tends to be darker in color and more tender but is also considered less suitable for processing [11].…”

“…Many factors contribute to the quality of poultry meat, including the selection of appropriate genetic material, age, gender, and nutrition [11][12][13][14][15][16]. Many studies have found that the quality of poultry meat is also significantly influenced by sensory attributes such as color and taste, as well as by juiciness and tenderness (meat texture).…”

The aim of this research is to compare the carcass composition and meat quality characteristics of spent Cobb 500 and Ross 308 broiler breeders. A total of 28 carcasses were evaluated—7 female and 7 male carcasses from each genotype. Dissection was performed, and the percentages of neck, wings, skin with subcutaneous fat, abdominal fat, residual components, breast and leg muscles were calculated relative to the eviscerated carcass weight. The breast and leg muscles were evaluated for their chemical composition, color attributes (Lab), acidity (pH24), and electrical conductivity (EC24). Analysis of the structure and texture of the pectoralis major muscle was performed. The genotype of the birds had an impact on the eviscerated carcass weight, percentage of skin with subcutaneous fat, leg muscles, wings, and neck. Broiler breeder genotypes differed in terms of the chemical composition of the breast and leg muscles, except for the water content in the breast muscle and the collagen content in both the breast and leg muscles. The breast muscles of Cobb 500 exhibited lower cooking loss, pH24, redness, and yellowness, while the leg muscles of Ross 308 had lower EC24 but higher cooking loss and lightness values. The pectoralis major muscle of Cobb 500 was firmer and more tender, with a smaller cross-sectional area of the muscle fiber and a smaller vertical (V) diameter of the muscle fiber. Males were characterized by a greater carcass weight and a higher percentage of leg muscles, neck, and carcass remains. On the other hand, females had a higher percentage of breast muscles, skin with subcutaneous fat, and abdominal fat. The sex of the birds affected the chemical composition of the breast and leg muscles, with the exception of the water content in the breast muscles and collagen content in the breast and leg muscles. The breast muscles of females were characterized by higher values of yellowness, although they also exhibited lower pH and cooking loss. In terms of texture analysis of the pectoralis major muscle, the meat of females was characterized by higher tenderness and firmness. However, the analysis of the structure showed that males had a thicker perimysium and endomysium. Regardless of broiler origin and sex, significant differences were found between the breast and leg muscles in terms of the assessed physicochemical features (pH24, EC24, cooking loss), color attributes (Lab) and chemical composition (protein, intramuscular fat, and collagen contents). Genotype and sex interactions were significant for the chemical composition of the breast muscles (protein, fat, collagen) and leg muscles (fat), as well as for the yellow color saturation of the breast muscles and springiness of the pectoralis major muscle. The study produced results that showed the meat and carcasses of spent hens and roosters to be suitable for processing due to their favorable chemical composition, high nutritional value and good technological properties, as assessed based on the results of meat texture and structure.

“…These compounds can have different effects on the body of animals. Carob seeds are also known as a potential natural source of antioxidants and their antioxidant activity is associated with phenolic compounds and the presence of substances ( 7 ). Sexual desire has an undeniable effect on marital life and its stability.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study is comparison of carob with placebo in the treatment of male infertility. Materials and methods: This study was performed as a clinical trial with two-group pretest-posttest design. Each group consisted of 30 members. The first group received 1.5 grams of carob per day, and the second group received placebo treatments. Treatment lasted for 12 weeks. Semen analysis as well as testosterone, prolactin, (LH), (FSH) and (TSH) were performed before and after drug treatment in two groups. Sexual function was assessed in the groups in two stages before and after the intervention using the standard International Index of Erectile Function. P-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Statistical analysis of data was performed using SPSS 16. Results: The participants’ mean age was 34.83 ±6.22 in the placebo and 33.67 ±5.82 years in the Carob group. The results showed in the carob group compared to the placebo group, the rate of normal sperm counts increased by 17% and also the normal level of testosterone was 40% higher than the abnormal levels of the placebo group and these differences were statistically significant (P <0.05). And in most areas of sexual function, the mean scores after the intervention were higher than before (P> 0.05). Conclusion: It is recommended to use carob supplements to improve spermogram parameters and male sex hormones.
