| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The heat stroke in domestic animals under the high temperature of the summer causes the economic damage. We found that treatment with desacyl ghrelin reduced body temperature in rats. Therefore we examined whether desacyl ghrelin prevent the heat stroke in beef cattle and dairy cattle at the high temperature of the summer, and observed an effect of the prevention of heat stroke. In addition, in a rat experiment, treatment with desacyl ghrelin improved normally the incremental change (creatinine, urea nitrogen and hematocrit etc.) of the blood property under the high temperature. These results suggest that desacyl ghrelin may be effective for the heat stroke prevention.
