Article Title: Effect of Cyclic Heat Stress on Hypothalamic Oxygen Homeostasis and Inflammatory State in the Jungle Fowl and Three Broiler-Based Research Lines
doi: 10.3389/fvets.2022.905225
Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of HS on hypothalamic expression of AMPK pathway in three modern broilers and their ancestor JF. Protein and RNA were extracted from hypothalamic tissues and analyzed by western blot (A,B) and qPCR (C–I) , respectively. Gene expression was determined by qPCR using 2 −ΔΔCT method and data are mean ± SEM ( n = 6/group). Protein expression was presented as ratio of p-AMPK Thr172 /pan AMPK (A,B) . Protein was analyzed via AlphaVIew software and is expressed as mean ± SEM ( n = 3/group) with one representative blot shown (A) . Different letters indicate significant difference at P < 0.05. 95RAN, 1995 random bred; ACRB, Athens Canadian Random Bred; AMPK, AMP-activated protein kinase; E, environment; ExL, interaction between E and L; HS, heat stress (36°C); JF, jungle fowl; L, line; MRB, modern random bred; TN, thermoneutral (25°C).
