Abstract excerpt
Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) is a triglyceride hydrolysis lipase and is generally related to lipid metabolism in animals. The ATGL gene was well studied in mammals, however very less was known in birds that differed significantly with mammals for lipid metabolism. In this study, cloning, mRNA real time and association analysis was performed to characterize the ATGL gene in birds. Results showed that the...
