Effects of Glucose Oxidase and Macleaya cordata Extract on Immune Function, Antioxidant Capacity, and Gut Microbiota in British Shorthair Cats
These findings suggest that Gox and MCE may enhance immune function, mitigate oxidative stress in cats, and increase the relative abundance of beneficial gut microbiota. Moreover, our results may provide evidence for GOx and MCE as novel nutritional additives in pet food. It should be noted that this study is limited by its sample size; while the results provide promising insights, future studies with larger-scale studies are warranted to confirm these observations.
