Abstract excerpt
Estrogen regulates the expression of the yolk protein genes in the chicken liver during periods of egg laying. While all five of these genes, vitellogenins I, II, and III, very low density apolipoprotein II (apo VLDLII), and apolipoprotein B, respond to estrogen, individual controls are superimpo...
