A grape seed extract maternal dietary supplementation in reproductive hens reduces oxidative stress associated to modulation of plasma and tissue adipokines expression and improves viability of offsprings

Plasma concentration of triglycerides (A), phospholipids (B), calcium (C) and uric acid (D) in broiler hens fed with different concentrations of GSE dietary supplementation or with a control diet.

Blood samples were collected from 4 to 40 weeks, before diet distribution. A: animals fed with control diet without GSE supplementation (n = 10), B and C: animals supplemented with GSE at 0.5% and 1% of the total diet composition, respectively, starting at 4 week-old until 40 week-old (n = 10), and D: supplementation at 1% of the total diet composition starting at hatch until 40 week-old (n = 10). The starting period corresponds to the hatching until the 4th week, the growing period corresponds to the 4th week until 17th week, the « before laying » period corresponds to the 18th week to the 23rd week and the laying period corresponds to the 24th week until the 40th week. Results are presented as lsmeans ± SEM. P values of the effects of the stage when the supplementation is applied (TimeSuppl) and diet were considered as significant if P < 0.05. Different individual letters (a, b and c) indicate a significant effect of the diet. * P < 0.05,** P < 0.005 and *** P < 0.001 (diet effect).
