“…The results of this study are in accordance with the study of Rengaraj and Hong (2015) [51] who found that a moderate amount of Vitamin E in poultry diet significantly protects semen/sperm qualities in male birds and egg qualities in female birds via decreasing the lipid peroxidation in semen/sperms and eggs.…”

Abstract:This study was performed to investigate the effect of halawa tahinia alone or in combination with ginger and cinnamon on sex hormones as well as serum antioxidant levels. Thirty Wistar adult male rat were divided into five groups, control group fed on basal diet only and test groups (n=24) divided into 4 groups as follow, group (1) fed on basal diet supplemented with halawa tahinia at the level of (15%), while the other three groups were fed on basal diet supplemented with halawa tahinia (15%) and were given orally (500 mg/kg/day) dried ginger, (500 mg/kg/day) dried cinnamon, both dried ginger and cinnamon (500 mg/kg/day) respectively for 8 weeks. The results indicated that, halawa tahinia have a high nutritive value. The obtained results revealed also that, oral administration of ginger and/ or cinnamon with halawa tahinia caused a significant (p<0.05) protective effects on testes due to increasing the levels of serum total testosterones, follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) also increasing serum total antioxidants capacity (TAC) levels with decreasing malondialdehyde (MDA) level as well as have no deleterious effects on liver functions as compared to control group. Moreover, both ginger and cinnamon administration has a synergistic effect on infertility due to their antioxidant properties. In conclusion: These results provide scientific evidence to substantiate the traditional use of cinnamon and ginger as a drink as well as Halawa tahinia in improving infertility in male rats which might be a product for their potent antioxidant properties and androgenic activities.

“…For instance, it acts as an efficient biological antioxidant in protecting cells from the adverse effects of reactive oxygen species or free radical initiators. It is required for the regulation of heme biosynthesis, apparently by controlling induction and repression of aminolevulinic acid synthase and porphobilinogen synthase (Rengaraj and Hong, 2015). Vitamin E plays a specific role in the essential transport of amino acids and possibly lipids in the intestine.…”

Key words:Broiler chickens; Clove; Immunity; Antioxidant; Muscle malondialdehydeOne hundred fifty-one-day old of Cobb broiler chicks were used to investigate the effect of dietary clove bud supplementation on growth performance, immune response and antioxidant status of broiler chickens. Chicks were allotted into five equal groups as the first control that supplemented by the basal diet, the second vitamin E supplemented group fed on the basal diet with vitamin E and selenium supplementation in water, Clove I that fed a basal diet containing 0.5 g clove/kg diet, Clove II that fed a basal diet containing 1.0 g clove/kg diet, and Clove III that fed a basal diet containing 1.5 g clove/kg diet (3 rd , 4 th , and 5 th groups). The GC-MS analysis of an n-hexane extract of clove evidenced the presence of isoeugenol (21.38 %) as a major active ingredient of antioxidant potentials. Clove significantly increased the serum total protein, globulin, IgG, IgM, INF-γ, IL-10, muscle GSH levels, T.SOD, and GST activities. Whereas, the serum total cholesterol, TAG, and muscle MDA levels were significantly decreased. The obtained results stated that BWG, FCR, and PER were improved in Vit. E and Clove I supplemented groups respectively, compared to control and other clove supplemented groups. Although, higher doses of clove had no effect on growth performance parameters with enhancement of immunity and antioxidant activities in broiler chickens that concomitantly, provide a healthy broiler's meat with less MDA that favorable to human consumption.

“…Similar to vitamin C and D, vitamin E is an important component of feed as it is needed for the integrity and optimal function of muscular, reproductive, circulatory, nervous and immune systems in poultry (Leshchinsky and Klasing, 2001;Rengaraj and Hong, 2015). Vitamin E is not synthesized naturally in the avian body, hence it is highly recommended to supplement it in feed (Chan et al, 1998).…”
