Article Synopsis
  • Approximately 50 genes, beyond heat shock proteins, show expression changes under thermal stress, with nitric oxide synthase (NOS) genes being particularly significant for adaptation in animals.
  • The study focused on examining the expressions of various NOS types and heat shock proteins (HSP70 and HSP90) in Barbari goats across different seasons using techniques like real-time PCR and western blotting.
  • Findings revealed that NOS and HSP expressions were significantly higher during extreme temperatures (peak summer and winter), suggesting these genes play a crucial role in helping goats cope with thermal stress and maintain cellular stability.

Article Synopsis
  • Six Barbari goats were acclimated in a controlled environment for 6 days before being exposed to high temperatures of 41 °C and 45 °C for 3 hours each.
  • During heat exposure, significant increases in rectal temperature and respiratory rate were observed, indicating a physiological response to heat stress.
  • The expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) mRNA levels increased significantly within the first hour of heat exposure, with HSP70 identified as the most sensitive and a potential biomarker for assessing heat stress in animals.

Recent experiments using expression, immunolocalization, and cell culture approaches have provided leading insights into regulation of luteal angiogenesis by different growth factor systems and its role in the function of corpus luteum (CL) in buffalo. On the contrary, lymphangiogenesis and its regulation in the CL are still poorly understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression and localization of lymphangiogenic factors (vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF]-C and VEGFD), their receptor (VEGFR3), and lymphatic endothelial marker (LYVE1) in bubaline CL during different stages of the estrous cycle and to investigate functional role of VEGFC and VEGFD in luteal lymphangeogenesis.
