[PMID: 38940295 DOI: 10.1080/00071668.2024.2364331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
1. This meta-analysis investigated the impact of LPS and covariates (serotype, rearing period and administration route) on the productivity parameters of broiler chickens (average daily feed intake (ADFI), average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR)).2. Thirty-two eligible studies were included. Hedges' g effect size was determined using a random-effects model at 95% confidence interval.3. Results showed that LPS significantly decreased average daily feed intake (ADFI; p < 0.0001) and average daily gain (ADG; p < 0.0001) and increased FCR (p < 0.0001). The serotypes Escherichia coli 055: B5 (EC055: B5) and Escherichia coli 0127: B8 (EC 0127: B8) significantly reduced ADFI and ADG, and the serotype EC 055: B5 significantly increased the FCR (p < 0.05).4. The intraperitoneal administration of the LPS significantly reduced the productivity of broiler chickens (p < 0.05), but other administration routes did not show such effects. The reduction in ADFI and ADG was found in all rearing periods (p < 0.05), and the increase in FCR was observed in the starter (p = 0.0302) and grower periods (p = 0.0031).5. Exposure to LPS significantly reduced the productivity of broiler chickens (p < 0.05). However, no relationship was observed between LPS dosage and productivity as indicated by the meta-regression study.6. The findings indicated that LPS has detrimental effects on broiler chickens' ADFI, ADG and FCR across various LPS serotypes and rearing periods. These detrimental impacts of LPS remain consistent regardless of the administered dosage.

[PMID: 38917604 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.103949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2024] [Revised: 06/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the protective effects of chlorogenic acid (CGA) on inflammatory responses and intestinal health of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged broilers. One hundred and forty-four 1-day-old male broiler chicks were divided into 3 groups with 6 replicates of 8 birds each. The groups were as follows: 1) Control group: birds fed a basal diet; 2) LPS group: LPS-challenged birds fed a basal diet; 3) CGA group: LPS-challenged birds fed a CGA-supplemented diet. The LPS was intraperitoneally administered at a dose of 1 mg/kg of body weight. CGA increased the weight gain and feed intake of LPS-challenged birds by 37.05% and 24.29%, respectively (P < 0.05). CGA also alleviated LPS-induced inflammation, as evidenced by lower levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the serum and jejunum (tumor necrosis factor-α, interferon-γ, interleukin-1β, and interleukin-6), and the decreased myeloperoxidase activity in the jejunum (P < 0.05). These effects were accompanied by a decrease in the mRNA abundance of toll-like receptor 4 and myeloid differentiation factor 88 and an inhibition of nuclear factor kappa-B translocation in the jejunum (P < 0.05). CGA reduced circulating diamine oxidase activity and levels of D-lactate and endotoxin, and positively regulated the expression of jejunal claudin-3 and zonula occludens-1 in LPS-challenged broilers (P < 0.05). Compared to the LPS group, CGA reduced the apoptotic rate of epithelial cells and cytochrome c concentration in the jejunum, and normalized the expression of genes responsible for proliferation and apoptosis in jejunal epithelial cells, including cysteine aspartate-specific protease-9, B cell lymphoma-2, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (P < 0.05). Furthermore, CGA normalized the altered phosphorylation of protein kinase B and glycogen synthase kinase-3β, as well as the translocation of nuclear β-catenin in the jejunum of LPS-challenged broilers (P < 0.05). These results suggested that CGA supplementation improved growth performance, alleviated inflammation, and helped maintain intestinal integrity and barrier function in LPS-challenged broilers, possibly through the regulation of the toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor kappa-B and protein kinase B/Wnt/β-catenin pathways.

Abstract
Chlorogenic acid improves diabetic symptoms, including inflammation, via the modulation of the gut microbiota. However, the mechanism by which the microbiota is regulated by chlorogenic acid remains unknown. In this study, we firstly explored the effects of chlorogenic acid on diabetic symptoms, colonic inflammation, microbiota composition, and microRNA (miRNA) expression in db/db mice. The results showed that chlorogenic acid decreased body weight, improved glucose tolerance and intestinal inflammation, altered gut microbiota composition, and upregulated the expression level of five miRNAs, including miRNA-668-3p, miRNA-467d-5p, miRNA-129-1-3p, miRNA-770-3p, and miRNA-666-5p in the colonic content. Interestingly, the levels of these five miRNAs were positively correlated with the abundance of Lactobacillus johnsonii. We then found that miRNA-129-1-3p and miRNA-666-5p promoted the growth of L. johnsonii. Importantly, miRNA-129-1-3p mimicked the effects of chlorogenic acid on diabetic symptoms and colonic inflammation in db/db mice. Furthermore, L. johnsonii exerted beneficial effects on db/db mice similar to those of chlorogenic acid. In conclusion, chlorogenic acid regulated the gut microbiota composition via affecting miRNA expression and ameliorated intestinal inflammation via the miRNA-microbe axis in db/db mice.

Aspirin eugenol ester affects ileal barrier function, inflammatory response and microbiota in broilers under lipopolysaccharide-induced immune stress conditions. Front Vet Sci 2024; 11:1401909. [PMID: 38872795 PMCID: PMC11169880 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2024.1401909] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Aims The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of aspirin eugenol ester (AEE) on ileal immune function in broilers under lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced immune stress. Methods Two hundred and forty one-day-old male Arbor Acres chicks were randomly divided into four groups (saline, LPS, saline + AEE and LPS + AEE) with six replicates of ten broilers each. The saline group and LPS group were fed the normal diet, while the other two groups received normal diet plus 0.1 g/kg AEE. Broilers in the LPS and LPS + AEE groups were injected intraperitoneally with 0.5 mg/kg B.W LPS in saline for seven consecutive days beginning at 14 days of age, while broilers in the saline and saline + AEE groups were injected with saline only. Results The results showed that AEE improved the ileal morphology and increased the ratio of villus height to crypt depth of immune-stressed broilers. LPS-induced immune stress significantly reduced the expression of the genes for the tight junction proteins occludin, zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), claudin-1 and claudin-2, in the ileum, while AEE significantly up-regulated the expression of these genes. Compared with the saline group, the LPS-treated chickens showed significantly increased mRNA expression of the inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and microsomal Prostaglandin E Synthesase-1 (mPGES-1) in the ileum, while they were significantly decreased by AEE supplementation. In addition, analysis of the ileal bacterial composition showed that compared with saline and LPS + AEE groups, the proportion of Firmicutes and Lactobacillus in the LPS group was lower, while the proportion of Proteobacteria and Escherichia-Shigella was higher. Similarly, Line Discriminant Analysis Effect Size (LEfSe) analysis showed that compared with the LPS group, Brevibacillus was dominant in the saline group, while the LPS + AEE group was rich in Rhizobium, Lachnoclostridium, Ruminococcaceae, Faecalibacterium, Negativibacillus, Oscillospiraceae, and Flavonifractor. Conclusion These results indicate that dietary supplementation with 0.1 g/kg AEE could protect the intestinal health by improving the intestinal villus morphology, enhancing the expression of tight junction genes and alleviating inflammation to resist the immune stress caused by LPS stimulation in broilers, and the mechanism may involve COX-2-related signal transduction and improved intestinal microbiota composition.

Abstract
In the large poultry industry, where farmed chickens are fed at high density, the prevalence of pathogens and repeated vaccinations induce immune stress, which can significantly decrease the production performance and increase the mortality. This study was designed to shed light on the molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways involved in immune stress through an in-depth analysis of transcriptomic and metabolomic changes in jejunum samples from the broilers. Two groups were established for the experiment: a control group and an LPS group. LPS group received an intraperitoneal injection of LPS solution at a dose of 250 μg per kg at 12, 14, 33, and 35 d of age, whereas the control group received a sterile saline injection. The severity of immune stress was assessed using the Disease Activity Index. A jejunal section was collected to measure the intestinal villus structure (villus length and crypt depth). RNA sequencing and metabolomics data analysis were conducted to reveal differentially expressed genes and metabolites. The results showed that the DAI index was increased and jejunal villus height/crypt depth was decreased in the LPS group. A total of 96 differentially expressed genes and 672 differentially accumulating metabolites were detected in the jejunum by LPS group compared to the control group. The comprehensive analysis of metabolomic and transcriptomic data showed that 23 pathways were enriched in the jejunum and that appetite, nutrient absorption, energy and substance metabolism disorders and ferroptosis play an important role in immune stress in broilers. Our findings provide a deeper understanding of the molecular and metabolic responses in broilers to LPS-induced immune stress, suggesting potential targets for therapeutic strategies to improve the production performance of broiler chickens.

Poult Sci 2024; 103:103586. [PMID: 38442474 PMCID: PMC11067738 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.103586] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Intestinal inflammation is a primary contributor to poor growth performance during poultry production. Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a natural phenolic acid that exhibits superior anti-inflammatory activity and improved intestinal health. To investigate the protective effects and molecular mechanisms of CGA during intestinal inflammation in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged broilers, we randomly divided 288 one-day-old male Cobb broilers into 4 groups: a control group fed a basal diet (CON group), a basal diet + LPS group (LPS group), and 2 basal diet groups fed 500 or 750 mg/kg CGA + LPS (CGA_500 or CGA_750 groups). Broilers were injected with LPS or saline at 15, 17, 19, and 21 d old. Chlorogenic acid supplementation improved the growth performance of LPS-challenged broilers by increasing average daily gain (ADG) and reducing feed/gain (F/G) ratios (P < 0.05). CGA also improved intestinal barrier function in LPS-challenged boilers by enhancing jejunum morphology and integrity, decreasing intestinal permeability, and increasing occludin 3, zonula occludens-1, and mucin 2 expression (P < 0.05). CGA supplementation also improved systemic and jejunum antioxidant capacity by significantly enhancing glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) activities (P < 0.05), and reducing malonaldehyde (MDA) and protein carbonyl (PCO) levels (P < 0.05). Chlorogenic acid supplementation reduced systemic and jejunum pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-12) and increased anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10) in LPS-challenged broilers (P < 0.05) by inhibiting the toll like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway (P < 0.05). In addition, the protective effects of CGA toward intestinal inflammation and apoptosis appeared to be correlated with inhibited endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress (P < 0.05). In summary, CGA supplementation improved intestinal morphology and integrity by inhibiting TLR4/NF-κB and ER stress pathways, which potentially reduced oxidative stress and inflammation, and ultimately improved the growth performance of LPS-challenged broilers.

Abstract
Avian reovirus (ARV), which commonly induces viral arthritis or tenosynovitis and immunosuppression in chickens, is associated with the nonstructural protein p17 that plays a crucial role in viral replication and regulates cellular signaling pathways through its interaction with cellular proteins. In our previous study, we identified the host protein IFN-γ-inducible protein-16 (IFI16) as an interacting partner of ARV p17 through yeast two-hybrid screening. In the current study, we further confirmed the interaction between IFI16 and p17 protein using coimmunoprecipitation, glutathione S-transferase (GST)-pulldown assay, and laser confocal microscopy techniques. Additionally, we found that the amino acid of p1761-119 is responsible for mediating the interaction with the HINa and HINb domains of IFI16. Interestingly, we observed a significant increase in IFI16 expression upon ARV infection or p17 protein exposure. Moreover, the replication of ARV was found to be largely influenced by the quantity of IFI16 protein. Overexpression of IFI16 led to a significant decrease in ARV replication, while knockdown of the IFI16 expression led to the contrary result. Additionally, our findings demonstrate that IFI16 plays a crucial role in the induction of inflammatory cytokines IFN-β and IL-1β during ARV infection as confirmed by qRT-PCR and ELISA analyses. In conclusion, our study provides novel insights into the functional role of p17 protein and the pathogenic mechanism underlying ARV infection, particularly its association with inflammatory response. Furthermore, it offers new perspectives for identifying potential therapeutic targets against ARV infection.

Abstract
This experiment aimed to investigate the effect of Lonicerae flos and Turmeric extracts (LTE) added to diets on growth performance and intestinal health of broilers. A total of 720 healthy 21-day-old yellow-feathered broilers were randomly divided into 3 treatment groups, with 6 replicates and 40 broilers per replicate. These 3 dietary treatments included a basal diet + 0 g/t LTE (CON), a basal diet + 300 g/t LTE (LTE300), and a basal diet + 500 g/t LTE (LTE500). The results showed that dietary supplementation of LTE linearly increased (P < 0.05) average daily gain (d 21-38) and average daily feed intake (d 21-60). At d 60, LTE300 had the highest serum total antioxidant capacity and total superoxide dismutase (P < 0.05), and LTE500 had the lowest malondialdehyde level (P < 0.05) among the three groups. Moreover, compared to CON, LTE300 significantly (P < 0.05) reduced endotoxin (d 38 and d 60) and diamine oxidase activity (d 38); LTE500 significantly (P < 0.05) reduced endotoxin (d 38 and d 60) and diamine oxidase levels (d 60) in the serum. LTE groups significantly (P < 0.05) increased ileal the ratio of villus height to crypt depth and serum immunoglobulin G. Furthermore, dietary supplementation of LTE also improved the intestinal epithelial barrier by the up-regulated mRNA expression of Claudin-1, Occludin and zonula occludens-1, and decreased the mRNA expression of interleukin-2, interleukin-8, tumor necrosis factor-α, nuclear factor κB, myeloid differentiation factor 88 and toll-like receptor 4. Compared to CON, 16S rRNA sequencing analysis showed that LTE300 had a better effect on the microbial diversity and composition in the ileum, and Bacillus and Lactobacillus_agilis were significantly enriched in LTE300. PICRUSt results showed that LTE300 was significantly (P < 0.05) enriched in four pathway pathways at KEGG level 2. In conclusion, dietary supplementation with LTE improved growth performance and intestinal health by enhancing antioxidant capacity, intestinal barrier and immune function, and regulating intestinal flora of yellow-feathered broilers.

[PMID: 38525083 PMCID: PMC10957784 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1347053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Aims The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of chlorogenic acid (CGA) on the intestinal microorganisms and metabolites in broilers during lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced immune stress. Methods A total of 312 one-day-old Arbor Acres (AA) broilers were randomly allocated to four groups with six replicates per group and 13 broilers per replicate: (1) MS group (injected with saline and fed the basal diet); (2) ML group (injected with 0.5 mg LPS/kg and fed the basal diet); (3) MA group (injected with 0.5 mg LPS/kg and fed the basal diet supplemented with 1,000 mg/kg CGA); and (4) MB group (injected with saline and fed the basal diet supplemented with 1,000 mg/kg CGA). Results The results showed that the abundance of beneficial bacteria such as Bacteroidetes in the MB group was significantly higher than that in MS group, while the abundance of pathogenic bacteria such as Streptococcaceae was significantly decreased in the MB group. The addition of CGA significantly inhibited the increase of the abundance of harmful bacteria such as Streptococcaceae, Proteobacteria and Pseudomonas caused by LPS stress. The population of butyric acid-producing bacteria such as Lachnospiraceae and Coprococcus and beneficial bacteria such as Coriobacteriaceae in the MA group increased significantly. Non-targeted metabonomic analysis showed that LPS stress significantly upregulated the 12-keto-tetrahydroleukotriene B4, riboflavin and mannitol. Indole-3-acetate, xanthurenic acid, L-formylkynurenine, pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid and L-glutamic acid were significantly down-regulated, indicating that LPS activated inflammation and oxidation in broilers, resulting in intestinal barrier damage. The addition of CGA to the diet of LPS-stimulated broilers significantly decreased 12-keto-tetrahydro-leukotriene B4 and leukotriene F4 in arachidonic acid metabolism and riboflavin and mannitol in ABC transporters, and significantly increased N-acetyl-L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde in the biosynthesis of amino acids and arginine, The presence of pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid in D-amino acid metabolism and the cecal metabolites, indolelactic acid, xanthurenic acid and L-kynurenine, indicated that CGA could reduce the inflammatory response induced by immune stress, enhance intestinal barrier function, and boost antioxidant capacity. Conclusion We conclude that CGA can have a beneficial effect on broilers by positively altering the balance of intestinal microorganisms and their metabolites to inhibit intestinal inflammation and barrier damage caused by immune stress.

Poult Sci 2024; 103:103316. [PMID: 38128454 PMCID: PMC10776634 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2023.103316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 11/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
The interesting roles and efficiencies of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) have attracted considerable attention and have been gradually evidenced in specific animal models. While the growing evidence that bacteriophages play roles in FMT efficacy has attracted considerable interest. In this study, we aimed to explore the effects of FMT and fecal virome transplantation (FVT) in improving inflammatory damage and ileal microbiota disorder in broilers. A total of 224 Arbor Acres broilers were selected at 1-day-old and randomly divided into the following 4 groups, with 56 broilers in each group: the CON group (the negative control group, sterile physiological saline injection + sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution gavage), LPS group (the positive control group, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection + sterile PBS solution gavage), LPS + FMT group (LPS injection + FMT solution gavage), LPS + FVT group (LPS injection + FVT solution gavage). The results showed that: LPS injection significantly upregulated the mRNA expression levels of IFN-γ (P < 0.05) and IL-8 (P < 0.001) in ileal mucosa of broilers at 11th day of age (D11), while LPS + FMT and LPS + FVT did not; LPS injection significantly upregulated the mRNA expression of ZO-1 in ileal mucosa at D11 (P < 0.01), while LPS + FMT and LPS + FVT did not; at D11, compare to CON group, LPS injection and LPS + FMT significantly increased the relative abundance of virulence factor Rab2 interacting conserved protein A-related genes in broiler ileum contents (P < 0.05), while LPS + FVT had no significant difference with CON group (P > 0.05); at D11, LPS injection significantly downregulated the biosynthesis of antibiotics pathway (P < 0.05) in the ileal contents, while LPS + FVT did not. In conclusion, both FMT and FVT could promote the recovery of inflammation caused by LPS. Furthermore, FVT had shown less disadvantage stimulation on the broilers and could reduce the risk of transmission of pathogenic genes, compared to FMT.

Chlorogenic acid protects against intestinal inflammation and injury by inactivating the mtDNA-cGAS-STING signaling pathway in broilers under necrotic enteritis challenge. Poult Sci 2024; 103:103274. [PMID: 38043405 PMCID: PMC10711517 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2023.103274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 11/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effects of chlorogenic acid (CGA) on the growth performance, intestinal health, immune response, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway in broilers under necrotic enteritis (NE) challenge. The 180 one-day-old male Cobb 500 broilers with similar body weight of 44.59 ± 1.39 g were randomly allocated into 3 groups. The groups were control diet (Control group), control diet + NE challenge (NE group), and control diet + 500 mg/kg CGA + NE challenge (NE + CGA group), with 6 replicates per treatment. All broilers except the Control group were given sporulated coccidian oocysts (d 14) and Clostridium perfringens (d 19-21) by oral gavage. Our findings showed that CGA improved the growth performance and intestinal morphology in broilers under NE challenge. CGA supplementation elevated the barrier function in broilers under NE challenge, which reflected in the decreased serum concentrations of D-lactate and diamine oxidase, and upregulated jejunal protein expression of occludin. CGA supplementation also improved the immune function, which reflected in the increased concentrations and gene expressions of anti-inflammatory factors, and decreased concentrations and gene expressions of proinflammatory factors. CGA supplementation further enhanced intestinal cell proliferation and differentiation, which manifested in the increased number of goblet cells and positive cells of proliferating cell nuclear antigen on d 28 and 42. Furthermore, CGA supplementation decreased the mtDNA (d 42) and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species levels (d 28 and 42), and increased the mitochondrial membrane potential (d 42) and mitochondrial complex I (d 28 and 42) or III (d 28) activity. Broilers challenged with NE had upregulated jejunal protein expressions of cGAS, phospho-TANK-binding kinase 1, and phospho-interferon regulatory factor 7 compared with the Control group, which were downregulated after CGA supplementation. In conclusion, dietary supplementation CGA could protect against intestinal inflammation and injury by reducing the leakage of mtDNA and inactivating the cGAS-STING signaling pathway in broilers under NE challenge.

Protective Effects of Chia Seeds and Omega-3 Fatty Acid against Cyclophosphamide-Induced Oligospermia in Male Wistar Rats: Potential Risks of Adverse Drug Interaction with Chia Seeds. THE YALE JOURNAL OF BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE 2023; 96:455-465.

Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate whether chia (Salvia hispanica) seeds, which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, amino acids, and vitamins with antioxidant properties, can mitigate the negative effects on male reproductive function caused by cyclophosphamide, a frequently used chemotherapeutic agent. Methods: Male wistar rats are divided into seven groups (n=6). All groups except the normal control (NC) received cyclophosphamide (30mg/kg, i.p.) for the first 5 days. The standard group received clomiphene citrate (0.25 mg/kg, p.o.). Treatment groups T1%, T5%, T10%, and ω-3 received 1%, 5%, and 10% chia seeds in the diet, and 880 mg/kg omega-3 fatty acid (p.o) respectively for 15 days. The effect on the reproductive system was evaluated by analysis of epididymal sperm characteristics, biochemical parameters, and serum testosterone level. Results: Clomiphene citrate improved oligospermia via hormone mediated effect. Chia seeds and omega-3 fatty acid treatment also showed improvement in reproductive parameters including oxidative stress and histological features of the testes. Omega-3 fatty acid treatment was more effective for the prevention of cyclophosphamide toxicity on testes as compared to chia seeds. Nasal bleeding was noted in several animals subjected to chia seed treatment. This occurrence might be attributed to chia seeds' impact on coagulation and/or platelet function, potentially heightened due to chemotherapy associated bone marrow suppression. Conclusions: In our study, chia seeds as well as omega-3 fatty acid treatment were found to be protective against cyclophosphamide-induced reproductive toxicity in rats. However, the adverse effect of hemorrhage associated with drug interaction of chia seeds with cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs needs careful attention and further investigation.
