There are 160 species of birds (46 migratory species and 66 sedentary species); 21 species of mammals; 5 species of freshwater fish; 17 species of reptiles and 5 species of amphibians.

Based mainly on random sampling, giving particular importance to the different types of substrate, we were able to sample 73 species of lichens belonging to 16 families and 38 genera. Among these, the Parmeliaceae family is the most dominant with 19 species followed by the Lecanoraceae family which is represented by 14 species and the Physciaceae by 13 species. The physiognomic spectrum shows the presence of 06 lichen categories: foliaceous lichens, crustaceans, fruticose, gelatinous, scaly and leprous. While the classification by type of substrate shows the dominance of corticolous lichens with 48 species followed by saxicolous with 13 species, terricolous with 06 in number and lignicoles and muscicoles with 03 species each.

Meat quality was evaluated by determining the pH and color values of the CIE Lab Color System. A sensory analysis was performed. Results showed no significant difference in growth performance (P>0.05). Indeed, the control group had a significantly higher BW compared with experimental treatments P1, P2, and P3. Furthermore, broiler DWG did not differ (P>0.05) between the control and the experimental groups. Likewise, no significant differences were observed between treatments regarding FI, FCR, and mortality (P>0.05). The overall mortality rate during the experimental period was low in the control group (0%) compared to the group fed prebiotic (0.2%). No significant effect was observed regarding pH 30 min and ultimate pH (P>0.05). However, a significant difference has occurred in the meat color (P= 0.03). Therefore, meat quality showed no alteration when prebiotic was added during the starter period. It was concluded that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae-derived prebiotic added to the broiler diet at doses up to 2g/kg during the starter period did not improve performance, but could maintain meat quality.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic diversity of these iTABs tested in Imo State Nigeria using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), Blood samples were collected from 77 chickens belonging to these six populations of iTABs in the ratio (12:12:14:13:13:13), for Noiler, FUNAAB Alpha, Shika Brown, Kuroiler, Sasso and Fulani chickens, respectively. Genomic DNA was extracted from seventy-seven birds randomly selected from the six iTABs. A 450-bp mtDNA D-loop region was sequenced.

Tajima’s D was negative among populations and within Noiler, Kuroiler, Sasso and Fulani populations but was only statistically significant within the Noiler population.

Patients and Methods: We made this study on 120 men recruited from Sabra and 120 men recruited from Maghnia, Tlemcen (Algeria). Each group is divided into four groups (30 healthy control, 30 T2D without treatment, 30 T2D with metformin, and 30 T2D with insulin). A 14-item dietary questionnaire was applied to each individual to define adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Blood samples are collected for the determination of biochemical parameters (glucose, triglycerides, and cholesterol, high and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) and oxidative markers (superoxide anion, nitric oxide, malondialdehyde, carbonyl proteins, oxygen radical absorbance capacity, vitamin C, catalase, glutathione). Our results show that type 2 diabetics from Maghnia have a higher adherence score to the Midetaranean diet compared to those from Sabra. This difference is related to the dietary and cultural diversity of each region. Moreover, Our results show that insulin reduces more lipid parameters than metformin, moreover, the oxidant/antioxidant status became normal in patients treated with metformin especially in Maghnia patients compared to Sabra diabetics. Conclusion: Insulin treatment is more effective in improving the lipid profile than metformin treatment. In addition, the combination of metformin, which reverses the redox changes associated with diabetes, and insulin, which improves all lipid profiles, should be prescribed in patients with type 2 diabetes in diabetics with high oxidative stress and hypertriglyceridemia. Moreover, the adaptation of a Mediterranean diet in Maghnia men has provided good control of type 2 diabetes. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":321295,"journal":{"name":"Genetics & Biodiversity Journal","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127346565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
