The lab explores adaptation to heat stress through amino acids and neuropeptides.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the link between heat stress and nutrition
The animal nutritional physiology lab studies, in birds, how stress such as heat affects animal physiology and metabolism.
It investigates how amino acids and neuropeptides are involved in adaptation to heat stress.
In a message to high school students, a faculty member states that their current interest is in controlling stress responses by giving nutrients and bioactive molecules to cells and organisms.
Key terms
- Heat stress
- The burden placed on an animal's body by high air temperature. Heat stress in chickens is regarded as a major threat to the poultry industry
- Neuropeptide
- A peptide (a molecule made of linked amino acids) that works in the nervous system. This lab focuses on its role in regulating stress and immunity
- Thermoregulation
- The body's function of keeping body temperature within a certain range. The lab studies the involvement of amino acids and neuropeptides
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies, in birds, how stress such as heat affects the animal body. Focusing on the roles of amino acids and neuropeptides, it explores the mechanisms of adaptation to heat stress.
*Illustrative imageAmino acids and adaptation to heat stress
Targeting heat stress in chickens, a major threat to poultry farming, the lab examines indicators of physiology and metabolism. It has identified L-citrulline, L-leucine, taurine, and others as amino acids involved in thermoregulation.
*Illustrative imageNeuropeptides for feeding and thermoregulation in birds
The lab focuses on neuropeptides that regulate stress and immune function. It examines how neuropeptide Y and related peptides act on feeding and thermoregulation under heat stress.
