    Research Interest: Nutrition with emphasis on how nutrition (amino acids) and diet affect growth performance, immune system, oxidative balance, and nutritional absorption. Meanwhile, oxidative stress (birth and weaning oxidative injury), antioxidant signal, oxidative stress-inflammation, and antioxidant agent (such as amino acids) are also focused.
