L-citrulline |
Acute HS (34°C ± 1°C, 24 h); broiler-given basal diets enriched with 1% L-citrulline |
-
•
Downregulated the mRNA, cytochrome C oxidase subunit 3, mitochondrial transcription factor A, and ATP synthase F1 subunit beta (ATP5β) in the breast muscle as response to acute HS.
-
•
Promote the immune dysfunction of broilers exposed to HS.
-
•
Promote muscle ATP generation and mitochondria function.

Curcumin |
Broiler given 50, 100, or 200 mg/kg diet under HS conditions |
-
•
Significantly increased the expression of antioxidant related genes such as Nrf2, GSH-Px, GST, HO-1, and γ-GCLc after dietary inclusion of curcumin.
-
•
A significant improvement in the expression of SOD and CAT genes after dietary inclusion.
-
•
Decreased the ROS production was also observed in treated groups.
-
•
Curcumin supplemented with stressed broiler diets significantly increased the MMP, mtDNA copy number, and ATP amounts.

Enhance the hepatic antioxidant function by activating the Nrf2-Keap1 signaling pathway to promote growth performance in the broiler.
-
•
Activating the gene and protein levels of Nrf2 and HO-1.
-
•
Enhancing NQO1 and SOD1 gene levels,
-
