... The first classification divides chemokines into four classes: CC, XC, CXC, and CX3C. Our most recent studies, which were published, provided further clarification on the categorization of the CXC chemokine family and their respective CXCR receptors [8,9]. In the second classification, the function of CXC chemokines and their receptors in inflammatory, homeostatic, and GC is most important [10,11]. ...
... Plants are rich in secondary metabolites and antioxidants, and hence their pharmacological properties have been widely explored [16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Besides, the conventional medicinal systems chiefly rely on the use of multiple natural product scaffolds for the development of a new drug, in an unmodified state or for-property optimization by modifying the natural-product pharmacophores [23,24]. As a reflection of the high significance of natural products for the discovery and development of new pharmaceuticals, a continual evaluation of medicinal plants as a source of new therapeutic agent is highly recognized [23,24]. ...
... Continued research in virology and pharmacology will predictably lead to the identification of new molecular targets for clinical intervention, with the objective of developing new combined treatments that will produce therapeutic synergies in the future [31,32]. The importance of developing an integrated approach and networking in the study of natural products for advancing new therapies is essential, and The International Natural Product Sciences Taskforce's (INPST) use of digital communications tools is a clear example of this [33]. ...
... Maintaining intestinal health is essential for the health status of poultry. When the body is in an oxidative stress state, there is an increase in MDA and the accumulation of ROS and a decrease in SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px, which aggregates the damage to cells and tissues, causing a series of health problems [23,24]. Excessive oxidative stress often induces inflammation [25] and promotes cells to produce inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, and activate inflammatory responses [26]. ...
