Abstract excerpt
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a multifunctional protein, playing a major role in the hydrolysis of triglycerides in chylomicrons and very low-density lipoproteins. This study was designed to investigate the effects of variants in exon 7 of the LPL gene on duck growth and fatness traits. Two populations (native and Cherry Valley Peking duck populations) were used in this study. Growth and fatness traits were...
