Abstract excerpt
Broiler chickens (Gallus gallus) genetically selected for rapid growth are inherently predisposed to heart failure. In order to understand the biochemical mechanisms associated with the deterioration of heart function and development of congestive heart failure (CHF) in fast-growing chickens, this study examined several factors critical for myocardial energy metabolism. Measured variables included cardiac energy...
