Oral administration of L‐citrulline changes the concentrations of plasma hormones and biochemical profile in heat‐exposed broilers
We examined the effects of oral administration of L‐citrulline (L‐Cit) on plasma metabolic hormones and biochemical profile in broilers. Food intake, water intake, and body temperature were also analyzed. After dual oral administration (20 mmol/head/administration) of L‐Cit, broilers were exposed to...

Zusammenfassung: | We examined the effects of oral administration of L‐citrulline (L‐Cit) on plasma metabolic hormones and biochemical profile in broilers. Food intake, water intake, and body temperature were also analyzed. After dual oral administration (20 mmol/head/administration) of L‐Cit, broilers were exposed to a high ambient temperature (HT; 30 ± 1°C) chamber for 120 min. Oral administration of L‐Cit reduced (p |
