Heat stress induces expression of HSP genes in genetically divergent chickens.

Heat stress induces expression of HSP genes in genetically divergent chickens.

BACKGROUND:Chickens are animals that are sensitive to thermal stress, which may decrease their production level in terms that it affects feed intake and thus, decreasing body weight gain. The Heat Shock Factors (HSF) and Heat Shock Proteins (HSP) genes are involved in the key cellular defense mechan...
