Effects of Chenpi (Citrus reticulata cv. Chachiensis) on serum antioxidant enzymes, inflammatory factors, and intestinal health in Beagle dogs by Wencan Wang, Ling Xu, Yan Zhang, Yong Cao, Yixue Yang, Guo Liu, Guo Liu, Xin Mao

“…The research evidenced a notable increase in serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in dogs, accompanied by a decrease in malondialdehyde (MDA), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) level. Additionally, CPP increased fecal scores and significantly reduced fecal odors due to inhibition of 3-methylindole, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N), and also raised the levels of fecal secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA). …”
