Investigation of endocrine response of thyroid and intestinal and adipose tissues due to the addition of Moringa oleifera essential oil in diet for quails exposed to heat stress
Abstract:In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of Moringa oleifera essential oil (MOEO) supplementation to rations of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) grown under heat stress (HS) on some adipokine (visfatin, adiponectin, and chemerin), intestinal (citrulline), 3,5,3′-triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), and thyroid-stimulation hormone (TSH) levels in the serum. For this purpose, 320 day-old male quail chicks were used. The study was conducted over 42 days, including a 7-d adaptation period and a… Show more
“…Moreover, no adverse effects on growth performance or nutrient utilisation were observed. These findings are consistent with those of Bayraktar et al (2023), who reported decreased T4 concentrations when Moringa oleifera essential oil was incorporated into quail diets. Similarly, the use of feed additives such as genistein or sodium butyrate also reduced T4 concentrations (El-Maaty et al, 2023;Li et al, 2024).…”

“…Digestion and absorption of the consumed nutrients occur depending on the biochemical reactions that may alter according to the animal's breed, health status and The Effects of Hawthorn (Crataegus oxyacantha) Fruit Extract on Performance, Carcass and Some Serum Parameters of Broilers.... environmental factors (Bayraktar et al, 2023). Stress is an important factor that changes biochemical parameters (Kaya et al, 2021).…”
Background: The present experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of heat stress (HS) and hawthorn (Crataegus oxyacantha) fruit extract (HFE) on performance, carcass characteristics and serum parameters in broiler chickens. Methods: Experimental treatments included two different ambient temperatures (24°C: thermoneutral conditions, or 35°C: HS conditions) and three different HFE (0, 0.2 and 0.4 ml/L) in a 2´3 factorial arrangement. A total of 300 1-day-old broiler chicks were randomly allotted 1 of 6 treatments with five replicates. A total of 300 1-day old broiler chicks were randomly allocated to 6 groups with five replications of 10 birds each. HFE supplementation had no effect on growth performance, carcass characteristics and visceral weight in stressed groups (P greater than 0.05). It was also determined that it has a lowering effect on serum malondialdehyde (MDA), free fatty acid (FFA), triacylglyceride (TAG), total lipid (TL) and low density lipoproteins (LDL) (P less than 0.05), but it has no effect on other parameters (P greater than 0.05). Result: As a result, it is thought that the addition of HFE to the drinking water of broiler chickens exposed to HS has no effect on the performance characteristics, HFE has a hypolipidemic effect and would be beneficial in order to strengthen the immune system.
“…According to the literature, phenolic acids, flavonoids, glucosinolates, isothiocyanates, sterols, and fatty acids are discovered in different parts of M. oleifera (Singh et al, 2020). Leaves are known to possess various biological attributes, including hypocholesterolemic, antidiabetic, and hypertensive properties (Abd Rani et al, 2018), regulate thyroid hormones (Bayraktar et al, 2023), the central nervous system (Su et al, 2023), digestive system (Wu et al, 2023), nutrition (Yang et al, 2023), and metabolic process of the eyes, ears, nose, throat, and the genitourinary system (Kumar and Karthik, 2023) to treat gastric ulcers (Islam et al, 2021) and scurvy (Rathore et al, 2023). Studies have described the plant as having very potent antiinflammatory and anti-tumor properties (Chaudhary et al, 2022).…”
For years, Moringa oleifera has been known for possessing wound-healing properties. This study aimed to investigate the effect of two extracts: aqueous extract (AE) and ethanolic extract (EE) of Moringa oleifera leaves planted at two regions (Mssisi and Lamta) in Morocco for their anti-inflammatory and healing properties, for which mice were used as a biological model. Inflammation was monitored by assessing forepaw volume of mice, measured at 0 min, 1 h, 3 h, and 5 h, after its induction by carrageenan. Hind paw of mice were treated with extracts of M. oleifera, at a dose of 50 mg/kg, obtained from Mssisi region. This resulted in reduction of edema by 99.2% with EE and by 91.8% with AE, compared to controls and the phenolic extract of M. oleifera planted at Lamta region. Regarding healing of burns induced on rat’s dorsal region; results showed that application of Moringa-based ointment for 14 days, at a dose of 50 mg/kg on wounds, resulted in total healing, compared to controls (negative control: more than 22 days, and positive control: 22 days). M. oleifera extracts resulted in nearly complete tissue repair of 98.26% and 95.34% with EE and AE, respectively.
