“…The present perspective demonstrated elevated levels of hematological parameters, particularly monocytes, reflecting a strong hematological response in association with the AVP dietary supplementation. Similarly, a recent study reported that monocyte levels were notably augmented by increasing the dose of AVP in broiler diets [ 49 ]. Furthermore, the MCV, MCH, and platelet distribution width increased significantly in quails fed 1% AVP compared to the control [ 59 ].…”

“…Herein, the results reveal better growth performance and feed utilization in all AVP-supplemented groups, and the best results were recorded at higher doses of supplementation. Accordingly, the dietary supplementation of AVP improved the weight gain and FCR of heat-stressed broilers [ 49 ]. In addition, AVP at a dose of 3% improved quail production and the feed conversion ratio and mitigated the negative effects of high temperature [ 50 ].…”

“…A. vulgaris dried leaves and different leaf extracts have high free radical scavenging activities in terms of DPPH [ 16 , 68 ]. In the same line, broilers fed AVP-supplemented diets experienced low serum MDA and suppressed lipid peroxidation in a dose-dependent manner [ 49 ].…”

The current perspective is a pioneering trial to assess the efficacy of the dietary supplementation of Alchemilla vulgaris powder (AVP) in the diet of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) on growth performance, blood picture, hepatic and renal biomarkers, immune status, and serum and tissue antioxidant capacity and to investigate the resistance against Flavobacterium columnare challenge. Fish (n = 360) were distributed into six groups (three replicates each) and received increasing AVP supplementation levels (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 g kg−1) for 60 days. Furthermore, fish were exposed to the bacterial challenge of a virulent F. columnare strain and maintained under observation for 12 days. During the observation period, clinical signs and the cumulative mortality percentage were recorded. The results demonstrated that the growth performance, feed conversion ratio, and hematological profile were noticeably enhanced in the AVP-supplemented groups compared to the control. The most promising results of weight gain and feed conversion ratio were recorded in the groups with 6, 8, and 10 g AVP kg−1 diets in a linear regression trend. The levels of hepatorenal function indicators were maintained in a healthy range in the different dietary AVP-supplemented groups. In a dose-dependent manner, fish fed AVP dietary supplements displayed significant augmented serum levels of innate immune indicators (lysozyme, nitric oxide, and complement 3) and antioxidant biomarkers (Catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), total antioxidant (TAC), and reduced glutathione (GSH) with a marked decrease in myeloperoxidase (MPO) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels). Likewise, hepatic CAT and SOD activities were significantly improved, and the opposite trend was recorded with hepatic MDA. The highest AVP-supplemented dose (10 g/kg) recorded the highest immune-antioxidant status. Based on the study findings, we highlight the efficacy of AVP as a nutraceutical dietary supplementation for aquaculture to enhance growth, physiological performance, and immune-antioxidant status and as a natural economic antibacterial agent in O. niloticus for sustaining aquaculture. It could be concluded that the dietary supplementation of 10 g AVP/kg enhanced O. niloticus growth, physiological performance, immune-antioxidant status, and resistance against F. columnare.

“…A study on broilers showed that; AV known to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-microbial effects did not affect serum MDA, GSH, TAS, TOS, and OSI values (p> 0.05). Although not statistically significant, MDA levels and suppressed lipid peroxidation in a dose-dependent manner decreased in the serum (Köseman et al, 2020).…”

“…It was noteworthy that monocyte levels increased significantly because monocytes are phagocytic cells of the blood and support the immune system of the body by killing pathological microorganisms. This suggests that the addition of AV to the diets may contribute to the immune system and the resistance to diseases (Köseman et al, 2020).…”

The effects of Alchemilla vulgaris (AV) on haematology and serum, liver, and ovarian antioxidant status of heat-stressed quail in the late laying period were observed in this study. A 2×3 factorial design was used with 0, 1 and 3% AV fed in thermoneutral (TN) and heat stress (HS) conditions. A total of 150 quails were randomly assigned to six groups. The quails were located in temperature controlled rooms. The mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and platelet distribution width (PDW) obtained in quail fed 1% AV were higher than in 3% AV under both TN and HS conditions. Comparing 3% AV to 1% AV, the concentration of MCH obtained for 1% AV was higher in HS and lower in TN conditions. Besides, quails fed for 1% AV had a lower procalcitonin (PCT) value in HS than 3% AV but this PCT value was the same in TN. The serum malondialdehyde (MDA) was lower in 1% AV than 3% AV in both HS and TN. The ovarian MDA was lower in TN than HS. In both TN and HS conditions, the ovarian MDA value was determined higher for 1% AV than for 3% AV. The liver glutathione (GSH) value was higher in 1% AV than 3% AV in both TN and HS conditions. The Total Oxidant Capacity (TOS) value was found higher for 3% AV in TN and 1% AV in HS. The serum GSH, TOS, and oxidative stress index (OSI) values were lower for 3% AV compared to 1% AV for both TN and HS conditions, whereas for MDA value this was the opposite. The ovarium MDA and TOS values were lower for 3% AV than for 1% AV in both TN and HS. Also, the liver MDA, GSH, and Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAS) values were lower for 3% AV than for 1% AV in both TN and HS conditions. Finally, dietary AV has been shown to have a partial antioxidative effect on the defense system and also has effect on red blood cell profiles and platelet counts rather than white blood cell profiles.

Adaptogens are a category of herbal medicinal products that enhance the adaptive reserves of the body, resistance to extreme factors and survival under stress. Adaptogenic properties have been revealed in dozens of plants, in particular, preparations based on raw materials from the Lady’s Mantle (Alchemilla vulgaris L.), a perennial herbaceous plant from the family Rosaceae, have a wide range of biological activity, including antioxidant, antiinflammatory, neuroprotective, anticancer and other, which allows them to be used for prevention and supportive therapy in the treatment of many pathological processes. The results of the authors’ own research and a number of literature data substantiate the presence of adaptogenic properties in this plant. The review analyzes the information in the scientific literature on the chemical composition of compounds included in preparations based on A. vulgaris raw materials, the modern interpretation of the concept of “adaptogen” and criteria for evaluating the adaptogenic properties of plants, and discusses possible molecular and cellular mechanisms that ensure the presence of such properties in the Lady’s Mantle.
