Figure 2From: Inhibition of heat-induced apoptosis in rat small intestine and IEC-6 cells through the AKT signaling pathwayChanges of glucocorticoid concentrations between control and heat-stressed group. In the stressed group, the serum corticosterone increased significantly. Values represent the mean ±SD, n=6 rats for each group. *p<0.05 heat-stressed versus control.Back to article page
