  4. Nutritional modulation of the antioxidant capacities in poultry: the case of vitamin E

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTCommercial poultry production is associated with a range of stresses, including environmental, technological, nutritional, and internal/biological ones, responsible for decreased productive and reproductive performance of poultry. At the molecular level, most of them are associated with oxidative stress and damages to important biological molecules.

  15. [ASAP] Ochratoxin A Exposure Impairs Porcine Granulosa Cell Growth via the PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • The mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OTA), a naturally occurring food contaminant, has a toxic effect on the growth and development of follicles in pigs. However, little is known regarding the specific toxic effects of OTA exposure on oocytes and granulosa cells (GCs). In this study, we cultured porcine ovarian GCs and exposed them to OTA in vitro in order to explore the mechanism causing the negative effects.
