Sex difference of arterial response to cold exposure

چکیده
Results The temperature of the hindlimb decreased rapidly with cold exposure in all cases, and minimum tissue temperature was observed one minute after cold exposure in both groups. The reduction in tissue temperature was lager in female than in male (female: 23.0+/-6.1 degree C vs. male: 12.0+/-6.1 degree C) (p<0.05). This difference was significantly existed until 14 minutes after cold exposure. There was no significant difference in arterial diameter between both groups at pre cold exposure. In both groups, the diameters of arteries were significantly dilated at one minute after cold exposure compared with pre cold exposure (p<0.05). However, the rate of expansion was less significant in female than in male (female: 69±40% vs. male: 119±73%, p<0.05) (Fig.1 and 2).

Effect of early cold exposure on the endocrine responses of broiler chickens and the incidence of ascites syndrome.
Two hundred and fifty day-old broiler chickens were housed in a high altitude farm and divided in two experimental groups (cold-exposed and control). At the age of 3 and 4 d, the cold-exposed chickens were exposed to 15?C for 3 h, while the control birds were reared under normal condition. During the period between 14 and 28 days, both groups of chickens were exposed to a low environmental temp...
