Heat and chemical stress modulate the expression of the α-RYR gene in broiler chickens

I. L. Ziober, Paião, F. G., Marchi, D. F., Coutinho, L. L., Binneck, E., Nepomuceno, A. L., and Shimokomaki, M., Heat and chemical stress modulate the expression of the α-RYR gene in broiler chickens, vol. 9, pp. 1258-1266, 2010.

The biological cause of Pork Stress syndrome, which leads to PSE (pale, soft, exudative) meat, is excessive release of Ca2+ ions, which is promoted by a genetic mutation in the ryanodine receptors (RyR) located in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of the skeletal muscle cells. We examined the relationship between the formation of PSE meat under halothane treatment and heat stress exposure in chicken aRYR hot spot fragments.
