Effects of dietary supplementation of taurine on the level of ROS in the PM muscle of broiler chickens subjected to H₂O₂ administration. Control, broilers fed a basal diet and received no injections; H₂O₂, birds fed a basal diet and received an intraperitoneal injection of 10% H₂O₂ on day 9 of the experiment (at 37 d of age), with a dosage of 1.0 mL/kg BW; H₂O₂ + taurine, birds fed the basal diet supplemented with 5 g/kg taurine and received the same injection as the H₂O₂ group. All measurements are expressed as mean ± SE (n = 8) with different superscript letters (a–c) indicating significance (P < 0.05). DCHF-DA, 2,7-Dichlorodi -hydrofluorescein diacetate.
