Abstract excerpt
Peroxisome proliferatior-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is a transcription factor that regulates adipocyte differentiation, and the activation of PPARgamma increases fat deposition in growing chickens. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the levels of PPARgamma gene expression were related to fat pad weight in abdominal adipose tissue in growing chickens with different genotype and sex....
