“…Apart from the digestive system, changes in the female reproductive system due to the presence of gluten have also been described. Changes in the length and width of the ovaries, together with the increasing number of ovarioles, were detected (Elaidy et al, 2010). However, there is no data on the changes in the cells of invertebrate organs at the ultrastructural level.…”

“…While there are abundant data on the changes caused by gluten in the food of vertebrate animals (Moss et al, 1996), data on invertebrates is rather rare (Broadway & Duffey, 1988; Dvoryakova et al, 2022; Elaidy & Zedan, 2011; Elaidy et al, 2010; Goptar et al, 2012; Gyan et al, 2021). A significant increase in the size of the digestive and regenerative cells in animals fed with gluten has been reported, as well as the presence of several layers of the peritrophic membrane and the increase in the amount of mucopolysaccharides (Elaidy & Zedan, 2011; Elaidy et al, 2010). Apart from the digestive system, changes in the female reproductive system due to the presence of gluten have also been described.…”

“…They could be connected with the development of enteropathy after the ingestion of gluten and, eventually, cause the degeneration of intestinal epithelium with villous atrophy in vertebrates (Ciccocioppo et al, 2001; Dyduch et al, 1993; March, 2003; Marietta & Murray, 2012b; Marietta et al, 2011; Moss et al, 1996; Perez et al, 2021), when mainly the intestinal epithelium is damaged (Bethune et al, 2008; Ciccocioppo et al, 2001; Moss et al, 1996). However, data on invertebrate animals, which may serve as vectors for cereal proteins, concern especially the synthesis of enzymes in their digestive systems under the influence of cereal proteins or the structure of their internal organs (Broadway & Duffey, 1988; Dvoryakova et al, 2022; Elaidy & Zedan, 2011; Elaidy et al, 2010; Goptar et al, 2012; Gyan et al, 2021). However, there is still no discussion of the effects of cereal proteins at various levels of body organization, i.e., from organs/tissues, through the level of cells, cellular organelles, and their membranes, to changes at the molecular level (Gyan et al, 2021).…”

Adult specimens or larvae of invertebrates used as food for vertebrates are often maintained close to gluten so they might become vectors for cereal proteins.However, the tissues and internal organs can respond differently in animals with different feeding habits. The midgut epithelium might be a first and sufficient barrier preventing uptake and effects of gluten on the whole body, while the fat body is the main organ that accumulates different xenobiotics. Good models for such research are animals that do not feed on gluten-rich products in their natural environment. The project's goal was to investigate alterations in the midgut epithelium and fat body of the herbivorous millipede Telodeinopus aoutii (Diplopoda) and analyze cell death processes activated by gluten. It enabled us to determine whether changes were intensified or reversed by adaptive mechanisms. Adult specimens were divided into control and experimental animals fed with mushrooms supplemented with gluten and analyzed using transmission electron microscopy, flow cytometry, and confocal microscopy. Two organs were isolated for the qualitative and quantitative analysis: the midgut and the fat body. Our study of the herbivorous T. aoutii which does not naturally feed on gluten containing diet showed that continuous and prolonged gluten feeding activates repair processes that inhibit the processes of cell death (apoptosis and necrosis) and induce an increase in cell viability.

“…On other hand, several supplemental diet recipes were formulated all over the world may help for maintaining colony strength and development especially during the pollen dearth period (Paray et al, 2021). Elaidy (2010) recommended vitamins and gluten patties for their positive effects on virgin queens' bodyweight, abdominal and ovary diameter, as well as ovarioles number. In the same trend, (Gamal Eldin et al, 2018) illustrated the positive effects of clover pollen supplements on queen weight, length as well as ovaries weight and ovarioles number.…”

The queen's production is one of the important and sensitive processes in beekeeping and certainly depended on royal jelly quality which plays an effective role in queen difference and vitality. This work suggested a novel plant feed supplements to improve royal jelly quality and enhance the vitality of newly emerged queens. Equal aliquots of Mahlab seed kernel powder (Prunus mahaleb L.)and date palm pollen (Phoenix dactylifera L.) were provided into colonies in a sugar patty formula for seven days before queen grafting and along for 21 days of the experiment compared to a traditional pollen patty and control sugar syrup. The supplemented patty recorded higher consumption rate of (85.44%) compared to the pollen patty (45.54%). Moreover, the new supplements showed the highest rate of queen acceptance and emergence percent compared to colonies fed on the pollen patty and syrup only. Regarding the new virgin queens' parameters, plant supplements lead to an increase in body and ovary weights to (0.2250 and 0.00562 g respectively) over those of traditional pollen patty (0.1826 and 0.00495 g) and control sugar syrup (0.1439 ±0.00414 g) likewise, an increase in the ovarioles number was detected. Moreover,a protective effect on DNA in ovary cells was recorded by agarose gel fragmentation analysis with the plant supplement group compared to the other groups. The SDS-PAGE analysis of royal jelly showed an improvement in protein quality and quantity with supplemented feeding patty. So, we can recommend the tested plant supplements to enhance royal jelly and queens' production qualities.
