Physiological and biochemical responses/adaptations to heat stress
A, acute response to rectal temperature with a single bout of heat stress treatment. B–G, adaptation of daily heat stress treatment. Open columns, non-heat stress; filled columns, heat stress. Student’s unpaired t test (A, F and G) or two-way ANOVA was performed (C, D and E). †P < 0.05 vs. non-heat stress. #P < 0.05, main effect of denervation. *P < 0.05, main effect of heat stress. Abbreviation: HSP, heat shock protein, n.s., not significant. In this and all subsequent figures, data are shown as the means + SEM.
