Plant extracts have been proved to have a variety of physiologically active ingredients in recent years, which have multiple physiological functions such as anti-microbial, anti-epidemic, anti-oxygenation, and regulation of metabolism when ingested in animals. Nutritional metabolic diseases always lead to the imbalance of the antioxidant system, activation of inflammatory responses, autophagy, and/or apoptosis in animals. For instance, Scutellaria plant extracts play a significant role in regulating lipid metabolism, and antibacterial and/or antiviral activities. However, the specific physiological functions, medicinal value, and the role of plant extracts and compounds in animal growth, immunity, and other nutritional metabolic diseases are still unclear. Therefore, the study on the role of plant extracts in animal nutritional metabolic disorders, poisoning, and other diseases will further clarify the mechanism of the occurrence and development of nutritional metabolic diseases and find relevant regulatory targets, which is of great significance for prevention and clinical treatment of nutritional and metabolic diseases.
This Research Topic contributes to providing fundamental research on the underlying mechanism of the plant extracts regulating the nutritional metabolic diseases in animals. It aims to explore the differences and similarities of different plant extracts and their functioning mechanism in animals. We want to find suitable plant extracts for the prevention and treatment of a variety of animal diseases, and explore the common mechanism of different plant extracts in animal diseases, which will inspire, inform, and guide researchers in this field.
We welcome mini-reviews, full-length reviews, and original research papers in the following subtopics:
- The chemical properties and physiological functions of different plant extracts.
- The pharmacological effects of plant extracts as feed additives.
- The incompatibility and pharmacological action of different compounds e.g., traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
- The effects of plant extracts on animal growth and development.
- The effects of plant extracts on animal reproduction and immunity.
- The isolation and biological identification of medicinal plant extracts.
- The effects of plant extracts on the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms (bacteria and/or viruses).
- The effects of plant extracts on nutrition and metabolism functions in animal diseases.
