With global warming, heat stress will become more and more serious. This paper reviewed the effects of heat stress on metabolism of proteins, glucose, fat and energy in skeletal muscle and related mechanisms so as to provide theoretical guidance for alleviating heat stress and improving production performance of animal suffering from heat stress.展开更多
