“…Moreover, antioxidant status of laying Japanese quails fed OP and/or A. awamori was improved (P < 0.01); significant increase in serum GSH value and GSR activity, and decrease in TBARS content were noticed in groups fed OP with or without A. awamori. Earlier, previous researches had proved that some oil sources (e.g., fish, soybean and olive oil), especially that have high content of oleic acid, exert potential detrimental effects on animals by increasing susceptibility to lipid or protein peroxidation in liver mitochondria (Huertas et al, 1992;Ochoa-Herrera et al, 2001;Quiles et al, 2006;Dong et al, 2018). So, we measured the serum values of AST and ALT as biomarkers for liver health in order to ensure the absence of any side effects on the liver exerted from the tested supplemental doses.…”
