ABSTRACT: The laying phase requires intense activity of the poultry organism, sothe equilibrium in the metabolism is necessary to a efficient production. Thus, this work aimed to evaluate the expression of genes superoxide dismutase (SOD), Glutathione peroxidase 7 (GPX7), acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC), fatty acid synthase (FAS), apolipoprotein A-I (APOA-I),And apolipoprotein B (APOB) in the liver; Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), glutathione peroxidase 7 (GPX7), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in intestine; estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) and estrogen receptor 2 (ESR2) in ovary; the histomorphometry of intestinal traits, productive performance, organ morphometry, antioxidant activity, oxidative stress markers, and serum parameters of lipid metabolism of Japanese laying quails fed with diets with or without cinnamon powder added to the diet. It was used 144 quail (Coturnix japonica) with initial age of 18 weeks, distributed in two treatments (basal diet without supplementation of cinnamon (SC) and basal diet plus 9g / kg of powdered cinnamon (CC)). At the end of the proposed experimental period, six animals from each treatment were euthanized by cervical dislocation, blood was collected and the organs weighed. Liver, intestinal and ovary tissues were collected for RNA extraction, enzymatic analysis and histological analysis. The cDNA was amplified using primers specific for the genes analyzed by qRT-PCR. Increased ovary weight was observed in the CC treatment birds; they also presented higher villus height, higher crypt depth, as well as better feed conversion by egg mass, higher triglyceride, uric acid and VLDLcontent.Regarding the amount of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and the activity of the enzyme catalase (CAT), higher values were observed in the liver of SC treatment birds. The CC treatment birds presented higher expression of FAS, ACC, APOA-I, SOD, GPX7 and ESR2 mRNA. The supplementation of cinnamon powder in the laying quail diet makes egg production more efficient by promoting balance in the body through antioxidant activity and modulation of the expression of genes related to antioxidant defense systems and lipid metabolism.
