Chronic heat stress affects muscle hypertrophy, muscle protein synthesis and uptake of amino acid in broilers via insulin like growth factor-mammalian target of rapamycin signal pathway

Heat stress markedly impairs the growth performance of broilers, such as the reduction of breast muscle mass and yield. The aim of this study was to examine the molecular mechanism of depressed muscle mass and yield caused by heat stress. A total of 144 (28-day-old) male broilers were allocated rand...
