Abstract excerpt
Heat stress produces oxidative stress and affects the alternation of plasma K(+) and Na(+). Since Na(+),K(+)-ATPase is sensitive to oxidative stress and critical for maintaining the homeostasis of these two ions, we examined the genetic polymorphism of the ATP1A1 gene in 160 Holstein cows using p...
