Brassicales release volatile glucosinolate breakdown products upon tissue mechanical damage, but it is unclear how the release of glucosinolate volatiles responds to abiotic stresses such as heat stress. We used three different heat treatments, simulating different dynamic temperature conditions in the field to gain insight into stress-dependent changes in volatile blends and photosynthetic cha...

heat stress is well recognized among the hazardous physical agents that might be present during work. this study aims to compare wbgt index at acclimated and unacclimated people to permissible threshold limit value and study the differences between physiological parameters at them. twenty one healthy men were participated in the study. all of the subjects were monitored in two different weather...

Environmental stress, such as oxidative or heat stress, induces the activation of the Heat Shock Response (HSR) which leads to an increase in the heat shock proteins (HSPs) level. These HSPs act as molecular chaperones to maintain proteostasis. Even if the main heat shock response partners are well known, a detailed description of the dynamical properties of the HSR network is still missing. In...

One of the greatest challenges to production dairy farmers in most part of the tropical country is heat stress and the strain that it causes the lactating dairy cow. Climatic conditions in the most parts of India are such that the warm (or hot) season is relatively long, there is intense radiant energy for an extended period of time and there is generally presence of high relative humidity. Thu...

Acute heat stress (HS) negatively affects intestinal integrity and barrier function. In contrast, chronic mild HS poses a distinct challenge to animals. Therefore, this study integrates biochemical, histological and proteomic approaches to investigate the effects of chronic HS on the intestine in finishing pigs. Castrated male crossbreeds (79.00 ± 1.50 kg BW) were subjected to either thermal ne...

UNLABELLED Skeletal muscle exercise regulates several important metabolic genes in humans. We know little about the effects of environmental stress (heat) and mechanical stress (vibration) on skeletal muscle. Passive mechanical stress or systemic heat stress are often used in combination with many active exercise programs. We designed a method to deliver a vibration stress and systemic heat str...

terminal heat stress is the most widespread heat stress in the world. in order to evaluate the effect of heat stress on yield, yield component, and mopho-phenological traits of barley, 10 barley genotypes including the 2-row genotypes: mahour, khoram, nimrooz, abidar and 6-row genotypes: yousef, rihan 03, izeh, zahak, nosrat, jonoub were tested under normal (optimum sowing date) and heat stress...

conclusions the present study showed that heat stress had a negative effect on job satisfaction; also there were no significant effects on job stress and job performance. results the results showed that job satisfaction had a negative correlation with wbgt index (r = -0.42, p < 0.001) and hssi (r = -0.49, p < 0.001). also, there was no statistical correlation among occupational stress and job p...

Molecular chaperones play key roles in protein quality control, signal transduction, proliferation, and cell death, and confer cytoprotection and assure survival after environmental stress. The heat-shock response is implicated in a variety of conditions including ischemic diseases, infection and immunity, neurodegeneration, and aging. Physiologic and pharmacologic chaperone inducers were shown...
