Heat stress decreases egg production of laying hens by inducing apoptosis of follicular cells via activating the FasL/Fas and TNF-α systems

Heat stress decreases egg production of laying hens by inducing apoptosis of follicular cells via activating the FasL/Fas and TNF-α systems

Heat stress (HS) causes significant economic losses in the poultry industry every year. However, the mechanisms for the adverse effects of HS on avian follicular development are largely unknown. The aim of this study was to test whether HS induces apoptosis of follicular cells and impairs egg produc...
