Fig. 1.

Histological analysis of the livers and hepatic lipids.

Fig. 2.

Observation of hepatocyte apoptosis by TUNEL staining. Cells with nuclei that stained dark brown were considered to be TUNEL positive. A) The control group; B) 25 mg/L MAG group; C) 50 mg/L MAG group; D) 100 mg/L MAG group; E) 200 mg/L MAG group. In the MAG groups, decreased apoptotic cell number was seen compared to the control group. Scale bar=200μm.

Fig. 3.

Effect of different levels of MAG in serum parameters of laying hens. Data represent means±SD, one-way ANOVA, and different letters represent statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate transaminase; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; T-AOC, total antioxidant capacity; T-SOD, total-superoxide dismutase; MDA, malondialdehyde; CAT, malondialdehyde; TG, serum triglycerides.
