Artemisinin supplementation in concentrated cottonseed protein basal diets enhances growth, antioxidant capacity, intestinal immunity and microbiota in hybrid grouper (Epinephelus... by Ling Pan, Qi Wang, Weikang Li, Xiaohui Dong, Shiwei Xie, Beiping Tan, Hongyu Liu, Yan Wang

“…In the artemisinin-treated groups, significant alterations in gene expression were observed, including a marked upregulation of interleukin-8, tumor necrosis factor-α, and toll-like receptor-2 (P < 0.05); however, the expression of tumor necrosis factor-β and toll-like receptor-1 was significantly downregulated (P < 0.05), suggesting that artemisinin may mitigate intestinal inflammatory injury. …”

Yeast cell wall polysaccharides accelerate yet in-feed antibiotic delays intestinal development and maturation via modulating gut microbiome in chickens by Fangshen Guo, Jianing Qiao, Zeqiong Hu, Jia Huang, Ruichen Bi, Waseem Abbas, Wenrui Zhen, Yuming Guo, Zhong Wang

“…Results Compared with control group, in-feed antibiotic BMD continuous administration significantly decreased crypt depth (d 21) and villus height (d 42) along with mucosal maltase activity (d 42) in the ileum (P < 0.05). Also, BMD markedly downregulated gene expression levels of β-catenin, lysozyme, occludin and FABP-2 (d 21) and innate immune related genes CD83 and MHC-I mRNA levels (d 42, P < 0.05), and decreased goblet cell counts in the ileum of chickens (d 21 and d 42, P < 0.05). …”
