Invited review: Lethal heat stress: The putative pathophysiology of a deadly disorder in dairy cattle [PDF]
Heat stress (HS) reduces production and efficiency in almost every metric of the dairy operation, and it thus compromises profitability and sustainability. If the magnitude of HS progresses, it can become lethal. Death can occur acutely or days following the heat load, even if environmental conditions have become nonstressful. Consequently, lethal heat

Potential Function of Testicular MicroRNAs in Heat-Stress-Induced Spermatogenesis Disorders
Spermatogenesis is temperature-dependent, and the increase in testicular temperature seriously affects mammalian spermatogenesis and semen quality. In this study, the testicular heat stress model of mice was made with a 43 °C water bath for 25 min, and the effects of heat stress on semen quality and spermatogenesis-related regulators were analyzed.

Pathophysiological Changes in Female Rats with Estrous Cycle Disorder Induced by Long‐Term Heat Stress [PDF]
High‐temperature exposure is detrimental to women’s reproductive health; however, the impact caused by long‐term high temperature is not comprehensive, and a stable model of estrous cycle disorder induced by a high temperature is yet lacking. Herein, we aimed to establish a stable and effective model of estrous cycle disorder in female rats induced by ...

Influence of acclimatization on serum enzyme changes in soldiers during exertional heat stress [PDF]
Background/Aim. Exertional heat stress is common problem in military services. The aim was to examine changes in serum concentrations of some enzymes in soldiers during exertional heat stress test (EHST) as well as the effects of 10-days passive or ...

Wuzi-Yanzong prescription alleviates spermatogenesis disorder induced by heat stress dependent on Akt, NF-κB signaling pathway [PDF]
AbstractAkt and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathways are involved in germ cell apoptosis and inflammation after testicular heat stress (THS). We observed that after THS induced by the exposure of rat testes to 43 °C for 20 min, their weight decreased, the fraction of apoptotic testicular germ cells significantly increased, and the ...

Seminal Plasma Analysis of Oxidative Stress in Different Genitourinary Topographical Regions Involved in Reproductive Tract Disorders Associated with Genital Heat Stress [PDF]
The pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for male subfertility/infertility caused by or complicated by genital heat stress remains unclear in many respects. Because seminal plasma creates the environment for the proper functioning of spermatozoa, in this study, we verified the associations among standard spermiograms, seminal biochemical ...

Development of a method for profiling of volatile organic compounds to monitor heat stress in hot water dipped apples [PDF]
Storage rot is a major contributor to losses of organic apples due to restrictions in spraying in orchards. Postharvest pre-treatments such as hot water dipping (HWD) have been proven successful to reduce storage rot.
