Abstract
This study was purposed to investigate the efficacy of dietary creatine nitrate (CrN) supplementation on redox status and mitochondrial function in pectoralis major (PM) muscle of broilers that experienced preslaughter transport. A total of 288 Arbor Acres broilers (28-day-old) were randomly assigned into five dietary treatments, including a basal diet or the basal diet supplemented with 600 mg/kg guanidinoacetic acid (GAA), 300, 600, or 900 mg/kg CrN for 14 days, respectively. On the transportation day, the basal diet group was divided into two groups on average, resulting in six groups. The control group was transported for 0.5 h and the other groups for 3 h (identified as Control, T3h, GAA600, CrN300, CrN600, and CrN900 group, respectively), and all crates were randomly placed on the truck travelling at an average speed of 80 km/h. Our results showed that GAA600 and CrN treatments decreased the muscle ROS level and MDA content (P < 0.05) and increased the mitochondrial membrane potential (P < 0.001), as well as a higher mRNA expression of avUCP (P < 0.001) and lower mRNA expressions of Nrf2 (P < 0.001), Nrf2 and PGC-1α (P < 0.05) compared with T3h group. Meanwhile, the mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf1, TFAM, and PGC-1α in CrN600 and CrN900 groups were lower than those in the T3h group (P < 0.05). Conclusively, dietary supplementation with GAA and CrN decreased muscle oxidative products and enhanced mitochondrial uncoupling mechanism and mtDNA copy number, which relieved muscle oxidative damage and maintained mitochondrial function.

Abstract
The current study investigated the effect of preslaughter transport on stress response and meat quality of broilers and explored the underlying mechanisms involved in the regulation of muscle glycolysis through calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase (CaMKK)/AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling. Results suggested that transport induced stress responses of broilers and caused PSE-like syndrome of pectoralis major muscle. Preslaughter transport enhanced the mRNA expressions of glycogen phosphorylase and glucose transporters, as well as the activities of glycolytic enzymes, which accelerated the breakdown of glycolytic substrates and the accumulation of lactic acid. In addition, acute stress induced abnormal intracellular calcium homeostasis by disrupting calcium channels on the cell membrane and sarcoplasmic reticulum, which led to the activation of CaMKK and promoted AMPK phosphorylation. This study provides evidence that the intracellular calcium overload and the enhancement of CaMKK/AMPK signaling are related to the accelerated muscle glycolysis of broiler chickens subjected to acute stress.

Dietary Se-Enriched Cardamine enshiensis Supplementation Alleviates Transport-Stress-Induced Body Weight Loss, Anti-Oxidative Capacity and Meat Quality Impairments of Broilers.

Abstract
The aim of this experiment was to explore the effects of a new selenium (Se) source from Se-enriched Cardamine enshiensis (SeCe) on body weight loss, anti-oxidative capacity and meat quality of broilers under transport stress. A total of 240 one-day-old ROSS 308 broilers were allotted into four treatments with six replicate cages and 10 birds per cage using a 2 × 2 factorial design. The four groups were as follows: (1) Na2SeO3-NTS group, dietary 0.3 mg/kg Se from Na2SeO3 without transport stress, (2) SeCe-NTS group, dietary 0.3 mg/kg Se from SeCe without transport stress, (3) Na2SeO3-TS group, dietary 0.3 mg/kg Se from Na2SeO3 with transport stress, and (4) SeCe-TS group, dietary 0.3 mg/kg Se from SeCe with transport stress. After a 42 d feeding period, the broilers were transported by a lorry or kept in the original cages for 3 h, respectively. The results showed that dietary SeCe supplementation alleviated transport-stress-induced body weight loss and hepatomegaly of the broilers compared with the broilers fed Na2SeO3 diets (p < 0.05). Furthermore, dietary SeCe supplementation increased the concentrations of plasma total protein and glucose, and decreased the activities of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase of the broilers under transport stress (p < 0.05). Dietary SeCe supplementation also enhanced the anti-oxidative capacity and meat quality in the breast and thigh muscles of the broilers under transport stress (p < 0.05). In summary, compared with Na2SeO3, dietary SeCe supplementation alleviates transport-stress-induced body weight loss, anti-oxidative capacity and meat quality impairments of broilers.

Abstract
This study investigated the attenuating effects of dietary creatine nitrate (CrN), a novel form of creatine, on energy expenditure and rapid glycolysis in pectoralis major (PM) muscle of broiler induced by preslaughter transport. A total of 288 Arbor Acres broilers (28 day old) were randomly assigned into five dietary treatments, including a basal diet or the basal diet supplemented with 600 mg/kg guanidinoacetic acid (GAA), 300, 600, or 900 mg/kg CrN for 14 d, respectively. On the day of transportation, the broilers from basal diet group were divided into two equal groups: one group was transported for 0.5 h (Control group) and the other group was transported for 3 h (T3h group). Meanwhile, the birds from GAA and CrN supplementation groups were transported for 3 h (identified as GAA600, CrN300, CrN600, and CrN900 group, respectively). The results demonstrated that dietary supplementation of GAA or CrN from 28 to 42 d of age did not significantly affect the growth performance, carcass traits, and textural characteristics (P > 0.05) in PM muscle of transported broilers. Compared with T3h group, GAA600, CrN600, and CrN900 groups increased the pH45min (P < 0.01), and CrN600, CrN900 groups decreased the cooking loss (P < 0.05) of PM muscle. Meanwhile, the muscle of GAA600, CrN600, and CrN900 groups showed a higher glycogen content (P < 0.01) and a lower lactic acid content (P < 0.01). GAA600 and all CrN treatments enhanced muscle Cr content and reduced AMP/ATP ratio (P < 0.01). In addition, GAA600 and all CrN treatments downregulated the relative mRNA expression levels of LKB1 and AMPKα2 (P < 0.001) and the protein expression of p-AMPKαThr172 compared with the T3h group (P < 0.01). All CrN treatments showed lower protein expression levels of LKB1 and p-LKB1Thr189 than those of the T3h group (P < 0.05). In summary, dietary supplementation with GAA and CrN enhanced the content of muscle creatine, and inhibited transport-induced activation of LKB1/AMPK pathway, which is beneficial for delaying rapid muscle glycolysis and improving meat quality.
