Therefore, the investigation of natural products that can target multiple pathways presents a potential gate for the understanding and management of AD. This study aimed to assess the neuroprotective effects of the hydroalcoholic extract of <i>Dracocephalum moldavica</i> (DM) on cognitive impairment, biomarker changes, and putative metabolic pathways in a rat model of AD induced by intracerebroventricular streptozotocin (ICV-STZ). The DM extract was standardized and quantified based on examining total phenolic, total flavonoid, rosmarinic acid, and quercetin contents using colorimetry and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods. The antioxidant potential of the extract was evaluated by 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and nitric oxide radical scavenging assays. Male Wistar rats were injected with STZ (3 mg/kg, single dose, bilateral ICV) to induce a sporadic AD (sAD) model. Following model induction, rats were orally administered with DM extract (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg/day) or donepezil (5 mg/kg/day) for 21 days. Cognitive function was assessed using the radial arm water maze behavioral test. The histopathological evaluations were conducted in the cortex and hippocampus regions. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was used to assess metabolite changes in various brain regions. DM extract significantly attenuated cognitive dysfunction induced by ICV-STZ according to behavioral and histopathological investigations. Thirty-two discriminating metabolites related to the amino acid metabolism; the glutamate/gamma-aminobutyric acid/glutamine cycle; nucleotide metabolism; lipid metabolism (glycerophospholipids, sphingomyelins, ceramides, phosphatidylserines, and prostaglandins), and glucose metabolic pathways were identified in the brains of rats with sAD simultaneously for the first time in this model. Polyphenols in DM extract may contribute to the regulation of these pathways. After treatment with DM extract, 10 metabolites from the 32 identified ones were altered in the brain tissue of a rat model of sAD, most commonly at doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the neuroprotective potential of DM by upregulation/downregulation of various pathophysiological biomarkers such as adenine, glycerophosphoglycerol, inosine, prostaglandins, and sphingomyelin induced by ICV-STZ in sAD.

Notably, the rapid expansion of environmentally controlled broiler farms in Punjab in recent years remains underexplored, with scarce information on this growing enterprise. The current study compared the management practices at 100 commercial broiler farms in Punjab, Pakistan, among different regions. A questionnaire was filled by on farm veterinarians (n = 100; one veterinarian from each farm) regarding the general information, infrastructure, biosecurity practices, visitor history, and production analysis of the surveyed poultry farms. The results of the survey revealed that the majority of the farms had environmentally controlled housing systems with rearing capacity of 75,000 broiler chickens or more; mostly having Cobb 500 and Ross 308 broiler strains. The infrastructure of >60 % of farms was found to be good with best biosecurity practices. The most commonly observed average downtime was 2-3 weeks plus washing with chlorinated water and detergent after dry cleaning at farms. The water quality regarding TDS and pH level was found normal at the majority of the farms. Traffic status was observed with random results at different farms, while in the Multan region, biosecurity practices were strict with no visits. The dead birds' removal time of 3-5 days was more common. Dead bird disposal through the pit method was more prevalent in most of the broiler farms across the Punjab. Better FCR, adjusted FCR, and market age were observed in broilers in the Multan area while those in the areas of Sheikhupura and Kasur showed poor performance due to improper management practices. It was concluded that effective management practices on broiler farms in Punjab, Pakistan, contribute to improved performance and bird health.
