Heat stress increases insulin sensitivity in pigs
Proper insulin homeostasis appears critical for adapting to and surviving a heat load. Further, heat stress (HS) induces phenotypic changes in livestock that suggest an increase in insulin action. The current study objective was to evaluate the effects of HS on whole-body insulin sensitivity. Female pigs (57 ± 4 kg body weight) were subjected to two experimental periods. During period 1, all pi...
متن کاملSurvival of heat stress with and without heat hardening in Drosophila melanogaster: interactions with larval density.
Survival of a potentially lethal high temperature stress is a genetically variable thermal adaptation trait in many organisms. Organisms cope with heat stress by basal or induced thermoresistance. Here, we tested quantitative trait loci (QTL) for heat stress survival (HSS) in Drosophila melanogaster, with and without a cyclic heat-hardening pre-treatment, for flies that were reared at low (LD) ...
متن کاملEffectiveness of Neighbourhood Retrofit Strategies in Mitigating the Urban Heat Island in Salcedo Village, Philippines
Salcedo Village has become more susceptible to urban heat effects because of its continuous development. This study investigates urban retrofit strategies that effectively mitigates the heat through modelling and simulation in ENVI-met. It is identified to have a maximum of 1-1.4K heat increase over 100% of its area, recorded during December 23:00 at 2m from the ground. The temperature increase...
متن کاملVulnerability to heat waves: Impact of urban expansion scenarios on urban heat island and heat stress in Paris (France)
Heat-wave risk in cities is determined both by regional climate evolutions and by cities size and shape change, because they can impact heat island effect. Land planning and urban transport policies, due to their long-lasting impact on cities shape, can therefore play a role in heat-wave risk mitigation. However, the link between these policies and resulting change in urban heat island is far f...
متن کاملHeat stress increases apical glucose transport in the chicken jejunum.
In chickens, elevated environmental temperature reduces food intake. We have previously reported that, during heat stress, the intestinal mucosa has an increased capacity to take up sugars. To investigate whether the effects of warm environment on sugar uptake are an intestinal adaptation to lower energy intake or a response attributable to heat stress, we examined the glucose transport kinetic...
