  This study aimed to evaluate the effects of bile acids (BAs) on performance, digestibility of nutrients, and intestinal morphology in broiler chickens. A total of 300 one-day-old male broiler chicken (Ross 308) were distributed into five treatments, six replications with 10 chicks each in a completely randomized design. experimental diets included: 1) control diet (CON; based on corn and soybean meal), 2) basal diet containing a commercial emulsifier, 3) basal diet containing 0.05 % BAs, 4) basal diet containing 0.1 % BAs, and 5) basal diet containing 0.2 % BAs. Intestinal morphological specifications, including villus height index, crypt depth, and villus height to crypt depth ratio were determined in duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The results showed that consumption of 0.1 % BAs improved daily weight gain and feed conversion ratio during the starter period (p< 0.05). Broiler chickens fed a diet containing 0.1 % BAs had higher fat and energy digestibility compared to chicks of other treatments (p<0.05). Birds fed 0.1 % BAs had a higher villus height in the jejunum compared to the birds in control group (p<0.05). Dietary BAs supplementation of 0.1% significantly increased the villus height to crypt depth ratio in all three portions of the small intestine compared to the control treatment. In conclusion, dietary BAs supplementation may probably promote performance to some extent by improving the intestinal morphology and utilization of fat and energy in the broiler diet.

  Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver dysfunction and one of the most important causes of death from chronic liver diseases. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of eight weeks of endurance training compared to resistance training on liver bile acids (BA), relative expression of farnesoid X receptor (FXR), fibroblast growth factor 15 (FGF15), fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) and beta protein Klotho (KLB) in rats with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In this experimental study, 16 Wistar rats with an approximate weight of 120-160 grams, after induction of NAFLD conditions, with six weeks of high-fat diet were randomly divided into two equal groups (8 rats in each group), including; Control (C), endurance training (E). group E participated in an incremental treadmill exercise protocol with an intensity of 65% of maximal oxygen consumption and a frequency of 5 sessions per week. 48 hours after the last training session, the subjects were sacrificed and liver tissue and blood samples were taken to evaluate the research variables. Data were analyzed by using independent t-test. The findings showed that E training protocols led to a significant decrease in liver BA values (p = 0.0001). Also, in the E training group, a significant increase in the relative expression of FXR, FGF15, FGFR4 and KLB protein levels  was observed (p = 0.0001). In conclusion, it seems that endurance exercise can have positive effects on the variables involved in the signaling of bile acid synthesis. . Manuscript profile
