The Effects of Vitamin E and L-Arginine Supplementation on Antioxidant Status and Biochemical Indices of Broiler Chickens with Pulmonary Hypertension Syndrome

Effects of dietary glutamine and arginine supplementation on performance, intestinal morphology and ascites mortality in broiler chickens reared under cold environment

“…Nascimento et al [25] indicated that increasing the glutamine consumption (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 g/kg) linearly reduced the coccidiosis incidence from days 1 to 21 of age. Consistently, Fathi et al [26] indicated a decreased total ascites mortality (38% vs 25%) with the consumption of 100 g/kg Gln. Similarly, the reduction of ascites incidence in Gln fed birds in the current study might be associated with improved O 2 utilization of gut.…”

Changes of haematic parameters, redox status and mitochondrial complex activity in the heart and liver of broilers fed with different density diets under low ambient temperature

“…Ascites mortality was also dramatically reduced by adding anti-oxidative substances (vitamin E, vitamin C, lipoic acid, etc.) into the diet (Al-Taweil & Kassab, 1990;Diaz-Cruz et al, 2003;Fathi et al, *To whom correspondence should be addressed. Tel: '86 10 62732712.…”

Effects of Glutamine on Digestive Function and Redox Regulation in the Intestines of Broiler Chickens Challenged with Salmonella Enteritidis

“…Also, the detection of molecular stress biomarkers indicated that the administration of Gln mediated the expression of genes associated with antioxidant activity (CAT, SOD, and Nrf2). These results suggest that dietary Gln scavenges free radicals and increases antioxidation, likely through the mediation of reactions that reduce oxidized protein levels and normalize index enzyme activities, which may consequently attenuate renal oxidative damage in Enteritidis-infected broilers, in the intestinal mucosa and sera of ovens (Fathi et al, 2014).…”
