Effects of dietary natural astaxanthin (ASTA) supplementation on the mRNA expression of antioxidant enzymes, including Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) (a), Mn superoxide dismutase (SOD2) (b), glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1) (c), peroxidase 4 (GPX4) (d), and catalase (CAT) (e), relative to that of β-actin (ACTB). The values are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation of six birds per treatment group. a–d Means within a row with no common superscripts differ significantly (P < 0.05)
