Changes in concentrations of Cry-2 in the (A) serum and (B) intestines of mice exposed to heat stress followed by cooling treatment. Male Balb/c mice were used to establish heat-stressed mice, which were then divided into six groups: Sham-heated control mice (37°C), mice heated with Tc at 40°C or 42°C, and groups in which the animals were removed from the incubator and allowed to cool at an ambient temperature of 25±0.5°C for 6 h following core temperature reaching 40°C (40/6) or 42°C (42/6), or the sham control temperature (37/6). Concentrations of Cry-2 in serum and ileal tissues were analyzed using ELISA. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. One-way analysis of variance followed by the Newman-Keuls test was performed. *P<0.05 vs. 37°C group; #P<0.05 vs. 40°C group; △P<0.05 vs. 42°C group (n=6). Cry-2, cryptdin-2; HS, heat stress; CT, cooling treatment; ELISA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
