Abstract: Elevated ambient temperatures affect animal production and welfare. Animal's reduced production performances during heat stress were traditionally thought to result from the decreased feed intake. However, it has recently been shown that heat stress disturbs the steady state concentrations of free radicals, resulting in both cellular and mitochondrial oxidative damage. Indeed, heat stress reorganizes the use of the body resources including fat, protein and energy. Heat stress reduces the metabolic rates and alters post-absorptive metabolism, regardless of the decreased feed intake. Consequently, growth, production, reproduction and health are not priorities any more in the metabolism of heat-stressed animals. The drastic effects of heat stress depend on its duration and severity. This review clearly describes about biochemical, cellular and metabolic changes that occur during thermal stress in farm animals.

Survive a Warming Climate: Insect Responses to Extreme High Temperatures.
TL;DR: The biological and ecological effects of EHTs actually experienced in the field, i.e., when coupled to fluctuating thermal regimes, are reviewed and it is argued that the mechanisms leading to positive or negative impacts of E HTs on insects can only be resolved from integrative approaches considering natural thermal regimes.

Chronic Heat Stress Impairs the Quality of Breast-Muscle Meat in Broilers by Affecting Redox Status and Energy-Substance Metabolism.
TL;DR: Chronic heat stress impairs meat quality by causing mitochondria to malfunction and affecting energy-substance aerobic metabolism, resulting in increased glycolysis and intramuscular fat deposition.

Heat-shock proteins, molecular chaperones, and the stress response: evolutionary and ecological physiology
TL;DR: This work discloses that expression of Hsps can occur in nature, all species have hsp genes but they vary in the patterns of their expression, and Hsp expression can be correlated with resistance to stress, and species' thresholds for HSP expression are correlated with levels of stress that they naturally undergo.

TL;DR: The direct cytotoxic effect of heat, heat-induced alterations of the tumor microenvironment, synergism of heat in conjunction with radiation and drugs, as well as, the presumed cellular effects of hyperthermia including the expression of heat-shock proteins (HSP), induction and regulation of apoptosis, signal transduction, and modulation of drug resistance byhyperthermia are discussed.
