Integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis reveals digestive tract adaptations to high altitude in Bayanbulak sheep
Bayanbulak sheep adapt to high-altitude hypoxia and thermal stress through epidermal thickening and synergistic interactions between blood and digestive tract metabolites. These adjustments enhance antioxidant capacity, energy reserves, and immune function, offering a robust model for high-altitude adaptation.
