Research Progress on Oxidative Stress and Its Nutritional Regulation Strategies in Pigs

Yue Hao et al. Animals (Basel). .

Abstract

Oxidative stress refers to the dramatic increase in the production of free radicals in human and animal bodies or the decrease in the ability to scavenging free radicals, thus breaking the antioxidation-oxidation balance. Various factors can induce oxidative stress in pig production. Oxidative stress has an important effect on pig performance and healthy growth, and has become one of the important factors restricting pig production. Based on the overview of the generation of oxidative stress, its effects on pigs, and signal transduction pathways, this paper discussed the nutritional measures to alleviate oxidative stress in pigs, in order to provide ideas for the nutritional research of anti-oxidative stress in pigs.

Keywords: nutritional additive modulation; oxidative stress; performance; pigs; signaling pathways.

When the oxidative system in the body is stronger than the antioxidant system, the generation of excess ROS cannot be scavenged in time. This disrupts the homeostasis of redox balance in the body and causes oxidative stress, ultimately leading to DNA, membrane, protein, and lipid damage.
