Allium cepa L. as a natural antioxidant: Its efficacy in combating heat stress-induced physiological alterations by Ayobami O. Sobanke, Afusat Aiyeola, Frances I. Okwuonu, Wuraola S. Nnaemeka, Jeremiah C. Ndubuisi, Franklin I. Udeoji, Jane N. Adiele

“…Many of these alterations were reversed by AC supplementation, by increasing RBC counts, HB levels, and antioxidant enzyme activities while decreasing LDL-c, TG and TC, MDA, and TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor-α). However, the positive benefits of AC were partially diminished in the HS + AC group, perhaps due to the severe oxidative stress caused by heat stress (HS).This study highlights the probable potential of AC as a natural antioxidant in modifying heat stress-induced oxidative damage, hematological changes, and lipid metabolism disruptions; however, its protective effects are insufficient to mitigate heat stress. …”
