The expression of heat shock protein with a molecular weight of 70 kDa (Hsp 70) in porcine tissue and its potential relationship to stress susceptibility was studied. Twelve pigs, four of each genotype (NN, Nn, and nn) for halothane sensitivity were slaughtered. At 45 min postmortem, several tissues (liver, kidney, spleen, skeletal and cardiac muscle, and adrenal gland) were sampled for Hsp 70 analysis. At 24 h...
