Effects of Heat Stress on Expression of Heat Shock Proteins in the Small Intestine of Wenchang Chicks

ABSTRACT In this study, immunohistochemistry and real-time fluorescent-based quantitative PCR were used to evaluate the expression of heat shock protein (HSP) 60, HSP70, HSP90 in small intestine Wenchang chicks. Compared with control group (CK), positive HSP60 mRNA stress (HS) initially higher subsequently lower duodenum (p<0.01). HS jejunum, levels (p<0.01) was (p<0.05). Whereas ileum (p<0.05) then (p<0.01), The HSP70 (p<0.05), while both jejunum HS. These results indicate that disturbed HSP60,
