Effects of low ambient temperatures and dietary vitamin C supplementation on pulmonary vascular remodeling and hypoxic gene expression of 21-d-old broilers

Effects of low ambient temperatures and dietary vitamin C supplementation on pulmonary vascular remodeling and hypoxic gene expression of 21-d-old broilers

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of low ambient temperature (LAT) and dietary vitamin C (VC) supplementation on pulmonary vascular remodeling (PVR) and the relative expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor 2...
