H2S exposure induces cell death in the broiler thymus via the ROS-initiated JNK/MST1/FOXO1 pathway

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a common toxic gas in chicken houses that endangers the health of poultry. Harbin has a cold climate in winter, and the conflict between heat preservation and ventilation in poultry houses is obvious. In this study, we investigated the H2S content in chicken houses during winter in Harbin and found that the H2S concentration exceeded the national standard in individual chicken houses. Then, a model of H2S exposure was...
