In surgically induced pulmonary arterial hypertension in 17–19-day-old male Cobb broilers, HFS and Momordica charantia supplementation both reduced ventricular index, with a larger reduction in HFS.
- Why it matters: Nutritional interventions for PAH in broilers need better interpretation of how diet changes energy use and cardiac responses over time, beyond single end-point measures.
- What they did: Thirty male Cobb broilers were split into HFS, Mo, and control (n=10 each); PAH was induced at day 17–19, supplementation ran days 20–37, and a biologically informed dynamic mechanistic model (Yaantal fe Bro A1) was calibrated to multiple observed trajectories.
- The result: Model–data correlations showed generally strong temporal agreement (0.90 < r < 1.0) on calibration data, and both supplemented groups showed lower ventricular index, suggesting integrated dynamics modeling can guide future nutritional PAH experiments.
