The Use of Fruit and Vegetable by-Products as Enhancers of Health Status of Piglets after Weaning: The Role of Bioactive Compounds from Apple and Carrot Industrial Wastes. Vet Sci 2023; 11:15. [PMID: 38250921 PMCID: PMC10820549 DOI: 10.3390/vetsci11010015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
At weaning, piglets are exposed to a large variety of stressors, from environmental/behavioral factors to nutritional stress. Weaning transition affects the gastrointestinal tract especially, resulting in specific disturbances at the level of intestinal morphology, barrier function and integrity, mucosal immunity and gut microbiota. All these alterations are associated with intestinal inflammation, oxidative stress and perturbation of intracellular signaling pathways. The nutritional management of the weaning period aims to achieve the reinforcement of intestinal integrity and functioning to positively modulate the intestinal immunity and that of the gut microbiota and to enhance the health status of piglets. That is why the current research is focused on the raw materials rich in phytochemicals which could positively modulate animal health. The composition analysis of fruit, vegetable and their by-products showed that identified phytochemicals could act as bioactive compounds, which can be used as modulators of weaning-induced disturbances in piglets. This review describes nutritional studies which investigated the effects of bioactive compounds derived from fruit (apple) and vegetables (carrot) or their by-products on the intestinal architecture and function, inflammatory processes and oxidative stress at the intestinal level. Data on the associated signaling pathways and on the microbiota modulation by bioactive compounds from these by-products are also presented.

Hamidizad Z, Kadkhodaee M, Kianian F, Ranjbaran M, Seifi B. The effects of CORM3 or NaHS on the oxidative stress caused by chronic kidney disease in rats: potential interaction between CO and H 2S signaling pathway. Metab Brain Dis 2023; 38:2653-2664. [PMID: 37695421 DOI: 10.1007/s11011-023-01264-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Accepted: 07/16/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023]
Abstract
Neurotoxicity is implicated as a severe complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Accumulation of urea and other toxic compounds leads to oxidative stress, inflammation and destruction of the blood-brain barrier. Carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) have been shown to have anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and anti-proliferative properties. The aims of the present study were evaluated the protective effects of CO-releasing molecule (CORM3) and H2S donor (NaHS) on oxidative stress and neuronal death induced by CKD in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex by considering interaction between CO and H2S on CBS expression. CORM3 or NaHS significantly compensated deficits in the antioxidant defense mechanisms, suppressed lipid peroxidation and reduced neuronal death in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex and improvement the markers of renal injury that induced by CKD. In addition, CORM3 or NaHS significantly improved CBS expression which were reduced by CKD. However, improving effects of CORM3 on antioxidant defense mechanisms, lipid peroxidation, neuronal death, renal injury and CBS expression were prevented by amino-oxy acetic acid (AOAA) (CBS inhibitor) and reciprocally improving effects of NaHS on all above indices were prevented by zinc protoporphyrin IX (Znpp) (HO-1 inhibitor). In conclusion, this study demonstrated that formation of CO and H2S were interdependently improved CKD-induced oxidative stress and neuronal death, which is may be through increased expression of CBS.

Ghalibaf MHE, Kianian F, Beigoli S, Behrouz S, Marefati N, Boskabady M, Boskabady MH. The effects of vitamin C on respiratory, allergic and immunological diseases: an experimental and clinical-based review. Inflammopharmacology 2023; 31:653-672. [PMID: 36849854 PMCID: PMC9970132 DOI: 10.1007/s10787-023-01169-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/01/2023]
Abstract
Vitamin C is used in modern medicine supplements for treatment of various disorders associated with oxidative stress, inflammation and immune dysregulation. In this review article, experimental and clinical results regarding the effects of vitamin C on respiratory immunologic, and allergic diseases are reviewed. Various databases and appropriate keywords are used to search the effect of vitamin C on respiratory diseases until the end of May 2022. Books, theses and articles were included. These studies assessed the effects of vitamin C on respiratory disorders including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung infection and lung cancer. Vitamin C showed relaxant effect on tracheal smooth muscle via various mechanisms. The preventive effects of vitamin C were mediated by antioxidant, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory mechanisms in the experimental animal models of different respiratory diseases. Some clinical studies also indicated the effect of vitamin C on lung cancer and lung infections. Therefore, vitamin C could be used a preventive and/or relieving therapy in respiratory diseases.

18β-Glycyrrhetinic acid suppresses allergic airway inflammation through NF-κB and Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathways in asthma mice. Sci Rep 2022; 12:3121. [PMID: 35210449 PMCID: PMC8873505 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-06455-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2021] [Accepted: 01/28/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
18β-Glycyrrhetinic acid (18β-GA), the main bioactive component of Glycyrrhizae Radix, is considered a promising anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent. Here, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of 18β-GA in an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma mouse model, and examined the role of NF-κB and Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathways. The histopathological changes of lung tissue in mouse were assessed by histochemical staining and counting of inflammatory cells. The levels of IgE and inflammatory cytokines in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of mice were detected by ELISA. In OVA-induced asthmatic mice, 18β-GA treatment can significantly improve lung function and reduce lung inflammation including infiltration of inflammatory cells. In addition, 18β-GA reduced the OVA-induced NF-κB phosphorylation in lungs of mice while increasing the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1. These results indicate that 18β-GA protects OVA-induced allergic inflammation of airway by inhibiting phosphorylation of NF-κB and enhancing the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, and serves as a potential treatment option for allergic inflammation of airway.

Abstract
Oxidative stress refers to the dramatic increase in the production of free radicals in human and animal bodies or the decrease in the ability to scavenging free radicals, thus breaking the antioxidation-oxidation balance. Various factors can induce oxidative stress in pig production. Oxidative stress has an important effect on pig performance and healthy growth, and has become one of the important factors restricting pig production. Based on the overview of the generation of oxidative stress, its effects on pigs, and signal transduction pathways, this paper discussed the nutritional measures to alleviate oxidative stress in pigs, in order to provide ideas for the nutritional research of anti-oxidative stress in pigs.
