“…One of the major reasons for this health disorder is oxidative stress for both genders [188,189]. Based on this very important fact, there is an increasing interest in Carob as spermatogenesis and male fertility enhancer [87,88]. The main reason for this is the quality and quantity of Carob polyphenols, which is in accordance with fi nding of other studies [190].…”

Carob has been used by humans since antiquity. Its major use is food, but traditional medicines of many nations used it for treatments of various health disorders. The fruits (pods or kibbles) were the main source for nutrition and medicinal uses, but decoctions and extracts were prepared from other parts of the tree, especially leaves. Modern science has analyzed most of the chemical compositions of the different parts, and among the phytochemicals that were found, antioxidants play very important roles in Carob nutritional and medicinal activities. So, in addition to having strong antioxidant activity and due to it, these natural products, their extracts, and foods that contain them, have anticancer, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective, antiaging, skin care, antidiabetic, and others. Phenolics and carbohydrates are the strongest antioxidants, but some volatile compounds have the same activity, to some extent. However, this review will present Carob antioxidants, their major nutritional and medicinal activities, and suggest future horizons for their use in human wellbeing.

“…However, no information was found on higher levels of ginger for comparison of the obtained results. In a recent study, the addition of 1 g kg −1 of carob fruit did not enhance the antibody response of ageing breeder roosters to the NVD vaccine (Nemati et al, 2022).…”

Higher long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids contents in roosters' sperm plasma membrane along with age-related decrease in antioxidant defense make the spermatozoa very susceptible to lipid peroxidation. Ginger root contains abundant amounts of gingerol, shogaols, gingerdiol and other active compounds, which known as antioxidant compounds to enhance semen quality. The goal of the study was to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation of ginger root on semen quality, blood chemistry, immune response, testicular histology and reproductive performance of Ross-308 breeder roosters from 47 to 60 weeks of age. The feeding of ginger root resulted in an increase in parameters related to sperm forward motility and seminal total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and following there was a tendency to increase and decrease in seminal superoxide dismutase activity and malondialdehyde concentration, respectively; however, sperm concentration was not affected. There was an increase and tendency to increase in blood total protein and TAC in the supplemented group respectively.The roosters fed ginger supplemented diet had a higher spermiation index; and following there was tendency to increase seminal tubes spermatozoids number (p = 0.056) and repopulation index (p = 0.058). Despite the improved seminal antioxidant status and a tendency to lower embryonic mortality in the gingerreceived group, the fertility and hatchability rate of roosters were statistically insignificant. Supplementations of ginger root in ageing rooster's diet had a beneficial effect on sperm motility, seminal antioxidant status and testicular spermiation index.

“…Large volumes of waste are produced as a result of the industrial processes that employ 18% of all citrus cultivars. Waste citrus could be a source of compounds with high biological value, [9] The utilization of medicinal plants and their extracts has also been studied [10]. Utilizing numerous active chemicals from plants, fruits, and leaves has become more popular recently.…”

Effect of various hesperidin and naringin addition levels on specific sperm indicators and the integrity of their DNA as measured by the comet assay in aged broiler breeder males

In broiler breeder males, the generation of semen decreases with age, and the body produces more free radicals when aging symptoms start to appear. Certain citrus wastes are a potentially sustainable source of high-biological value compounds with antioxidant properties that can enhance the performance of the male reproductive system. Hesperidin and naringin are two examples of these substances. Each treatment was given to the roosters separately, and their impacts on DNA integrity and semen parameters were later investigated using the comet assay. in contrast to the treatment used as the negative control. Most of the sperm characteristics (ejaculate volume, overall sperm motility, progressive sperm motility, sperm concentration, percentage of dead sperm, and percentage of abnormal sperm) were significantly and meaningfully improved by the hesperidin and naringin treatment. The percentage of genetic material that remains intact increased in the comet assay in favor of the treatments that also contained naringin and hesperidin. Finally, this study showed that hesperidin and naringin are sustainable substances led to improved semen qualities of elderly broiler breeder males and significantly increased the proportion of genetic material that was intact.
