Abstract
Oxidative stress affects production performance and meat quality of poultry. 6-gingerol (6-Gin) is the main activity component of ginger, has shown promise in alleviating oxidative stress in broilers, However, the specific protection mechanism of 6-Gin against hepatocytes oxidative damage remains unclear. The primary chicken embryo hepatocytes (CEHs) were damaged and the cell viability was decreased by H2O2, 6-Gin can alleviate the cell injure and oxidative stress. Transcriptomic analysis and further experiments showed that H2O2 significantly suppressed the expression of Nrf2, Keap1, and NQO1, as well as antioxidant enzyme activities, increased inflammatory factors, leading to cell apoptosis. In contrast, 6-Gin effectively reduced these effects by promoting Nrf 2 nuclear translocation and activating the Nrf2 signaling pathway. Furthermore, the protective effects of 6-Gin were eliminated by the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385. In conclusion, 6-Gin exerts antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects on CEHs through the Nrf2 pathway. This study provides the potential value of 6-Gin for treatment of oxidative stress in broilers.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Functional Foods continues with the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. We give authors the possibility to publish their top-quality papers in a well-established leading journal in the food and nutrition fields. The Journal will keep its rigorous criteria to screen high impact research addressing relevant scientific topics and performed by sound methodologies.
The Journal of Functional Foods aims to bring together the results of fundamental and applied research into healthy foods and biologically active food ingredients.
The Journal is centered in the specific area at the boundaries among food technology, nutrition and health welcoming papers having a good interdisciplinary approach. The Journal will cover the fields of plant bioactives; dietary fibre, probiotics; functional lipids; bioactive peptides; vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other dietary supplements. Nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods and beverages are of core interest to the journal. Experimental works dealing with food digestion, bioavailability of food bioactives and on the mechanisms by which foods and their components are able to modulate physiological parameters connected with disease prevention are of particular interest as well as those dealing with personalized nutrition and nutritional needs in pathological subjects.
