Adrenal and thyroid function in stress-susceptible pigs (Sus domesticus)

Capillary Distribution and Fiber Characteristics in Skeletal Muscle of Stress‐Susceptible Animals

“…These workers, (Sair et al 1969) however, concluded that PSE muscle fibers were larger and that there was a larger area of red fibers (red and intermediate) per bundle in the PSE muscles than in the normal muscles. Kastenschmidt et al (1968)) in a study of "fast" and "slow" glycolyzing muscle, found that the metabolic intermediate patterns were consistent with the concept that phosphorylase was the primary control site for post-mortem glycolysis. A rapid breakdown of ATP and CP in the muscles of stress-susceptible animals was also substantiated by Sair et al (1969).…”

“…& METHODS THE stress-susceptible and stress-resistant pigs used in this study were from the same strains of Poland China and Chester White animals previously described by Judge et al (1968) andForrest et al (1968). All animals were of approximately the same age aml weight (90 kg) and were reared with identical environments and feeding regimes.…”

“…ACID levels in the muscles of "stress-susceptible" (Judge et al, 1968) animals increase rapidly when muscles are exposed to anoxia in vivo (Forrest et al, 1968;Sair et al, 1969) and the animals will succumb if not given therapy. Lactic acid levels also increase rapidly due to muscle excision or animal exsanguination (Lister et al, 1969).…”

Pale, soft, exudative turkey—The role of ryanodine receptor variation in meat quality

“…Likewise, they showed that broilers responded to heat stress with increased levels of T 3 and T 4 compared with the nonheat-stressed broilers. Judge et al (1968) have shown that the protein-bound iodine levels were initially similar in both stress-resistant and stress-susceptible pigs after 3 d of exposure to the warm temperature. However, after 6 d of exposure to warm temperature, the stress-susceptible pigs had significantly higher serum protein-bound iodine than the stress-resistant pig.…”

Prevention of Halothane-Induced Malignant Hyperthermia in Stress-Susceptible Pigs With 5-Ht2 Antagonists

“…halothane), succinylcholine and environmental stress such as separation of pigs, regrouping of weaned pigs, fighting, high environmental temperature, muscle injury, exercise and excitement. Stress and its associated sympathetic responses are known to play a role in porcine MH in the absence of anaesthesia (Judge et al, 1968;Nelson et al, 1974). MH can even be induced by i.v.…”
