Experiments exposing Saccharomyces cerevisiae to glucose limitation (calorie restriction) are widely used to determine impacts on cell health as a model for aging. Using growth on plates and in liquid culture, we demonstrated that calorie restriction reduces fitness in subsequent nutrient-limited environments. Yeast grown in a calorie-restricted en...

The aim of this study was to determine whether and how Zn proteinate with moderate chelation strength (Zn-Prot M) can alleviate heat stress (HS)-induced intestinal barrier function damage of broilers. A completely randomized design was used for comparatively testing the effects of Zn proteinate on HS and non-HS broilers. Under high temperature (HT)...
Abstract Heat stress (HS) impacts the nuclear proteome and, subsequently, protein activities in different nuclear compartments. In Arabidopsis thaliana , a short exposure to 37°C leads to loss of the standard tripartite architecture of the nucleolus, the most prominent nuclear substructure, and, consequently, affects the assembly of ribosomes. Here...
In aquaculture, acute hyperthermia resistance is a trait of interest in climate change context. However, acute hyperthermia resistance, measured in laboratory conditions as time to loss of equilibrium when exposed to high temperature, is a trait whose underlying physiological mechanisms are not fully understood. It is important to understand these ...
In the aftermath of the 2003 heatwave, and with growing concern over climate change, Paris City Hall has been implementing several heat mitigation strategies. One of these is the OASIS Schoolyard Strategy which aims to transform Parisian schoolyards into cool islands. Within this framework, the EU-funded ERDF UIA OASIS Project aims to study the tra...

The study was conducted in the poultry field at the Department of Animal Production, College of Agriculture / University of Kufa, from September 24th to October 28th, 2023. The objective was to investigate the impact of incorporating bladder dock (Rumex vesicarius) plant powder and vitamin C into the diet of broilers (Ross 308) subjected to heat st...
Heat stress is a major concern for livestock producers due to its negative impact on animal health and productivity. Heat stress does so by altering expression of genes through different regulatory mechanisms such as DNA methylation. Understanding how heat stress alters gene expression will help elucidate the genetic basis of physiological changes ...

The addition of local Anemone coronaria flower powder and vitamin C to the feed and its effect on the physiological characteristics and antioxidant status of laying hens raised in the summer and exposed to heat stress was studied. The study was conducted in the poultry fields/ College of Agriculture/ University of Kirkuk for (84) days for the perio...
