Abstract excerpt
Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABP) belong to a superfamily of lipid binding proteins that exhibit a high affinity for long chain fatty acids and appear to function in metabolism and intracellular transportation of lipids. The current study was designed to investigate the effects of the adipocyte (A)-FABP gene on chicken growth and body composition traits. Two F2 resource populations were used in the current...
