Modulatory Effect of Monochromatic Blue Light on Heat Stress Response in Commercial Broilers

Figure 5

Blue light significantly regulates bird’s temperature during heat stress which could be associated with change in heat shock biomarker genes. (a) represents mean ± SEM of the bird’s temperature in the case of W, B, H + W, and H + B. , , and denote statistical significance (two-way ANOVA) with a , , and , respectively. (b) represents regression analysis of the association between the gene expression level (fold change) of heat shock protein and heat shock factor HSP70, HSP90, HSF3, and HSF1, respectively, and bird’s temperature. Analysis was performed at 90% confidence level. The values are shown. , , and denote statistical significance at , , and , respectively.
