Effect of Heat Exposure on Gene Expression of Feed Intake Regulatory Peptides in Laying Hens

Figure 1

Effect of heat stress on plasma parameters in laying hens. (a) Glucose (mmol/L), triglyceride (TG, mmol/L), and corticosterone (CORT, ng/mL); (b) Insulin (μIU/mL), nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA, mmol/L), and cholesterol (Chol, μmol/L); (c) Uric acid (UA, mmol/L) and triiodothyronine (T3, ng/mL). Values indicate mean ± SEM ( 𝑛 = 8 ). a, bMeans with different superscripts are significantly different ( 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 ).
