Blue Light Alters the Composition of the Jejunal Microbiota and Promotes the Development of the Small Intestine by Reducing Oxidative Stress

Antioxidants, 2022
Environmental light has an important impact on the growth, development and oxidative stress of chicks. Thus, we investigated the effects of colored lights on microbes and explored the molecular mechanism by which external color light information alters ...

Bidirectional Expression of Metabolic, Structural, and Immune Pathways in Early Myopia and Hyperopia

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016
Myopia (short-sightedness) affects 1.45 billion people worldwide, many of whom will develop sight-threatening secondary disorders. Myopic eyes are characterized by excessive size while hyperopic (long-sighted) eyes are typically small. The biological and

Effect of Short-Term Thermal Conditioning on Physiological and Behavioral Responses to Subsequent Acute Heat Exposure in Chicks

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2014
It is known that thermal conditioning at an early age results in improved heat tolerance, and reduces mortality when re-exposed to heat in later life in chickens. However, the mechanism of thermal conditioning is not fully understood.

Intracerebroventricular Injection of Ghrelin Induces Sleep-Like Behavior in Neonatal Chicks

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2001
Ghrelin, a novel growth hormone (GH)-releasing acylated peptide, is recently isolated from rat stomach. This peptide stimulates the release of GH from the anterior pituitary through the GH secretagogue receptor and feeding in the rat.

Mu-Opioid Receptor is Involved in β-Endorphin-Induced Feeding in the Meat-type Chick

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2008
β-Endorphin is an endogenous ligand for both mu- and delta-opioid receptors (MOR and DOR), and has an important role in feeding behavior in the central nervous system in mammals. The present study was done to elucidate whether central injection of &

Oral Administration of L-Citrulline, but not L-Arginine or L-Ornithine, Acts as a Hypothermic Agent in Chicks

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2015
Some amino acids are important regulators of key metabolic pathways and necessary for several physiological functions. However, little is know about thermoregulatory functions of amino acids.

Behavioral Responses of Chicks to a Saccharin-Quinine Mixture

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2018
To date, few reports have been published on the sensitivity of birds to sweet tastes. Therefore, in this study, the behavioral responses of White Leghorn chicks to the sweet taste of saccharin and the bitter taste of quinine were assessed.

Chick Hippocampal Formation Displays Subdivision- and Layer-Selective Expression Patterns of Serotonin Receptor Subfamily Genes

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Hippocampal formation (HF) plays a key role in cognitive and emotional processing in mammals. In HF neural circuits, serotonin receptors (5-HTRs) modulate functions related to cognition and emotion. To understand the phylogenetic continuity of the neural
