Embryonic thermal conditioning and post-hatch heat challenge alter hypothalamic expression of genes related to appetite, thermoregulation, and stress modulation in broiler chicks

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of an acute heat challenge on day 4 post-hatch on the transcriptome of several brain nuclei associated with thermal regulation, stress, and appetite. These included the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus, the pre-optic anterior/...
