Abstract excerpt
Chicken peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), which is highly expressed in adipose tissues, is a key factor in fat accumulation in the abdominal fat pad. In this study, association and pairwise epistasis analyses were performed for all the polymorphisms detected in PPARγ and for 9 genes from PPARγ-correlated lipid metabolic pathways for abdominal fat weight (AFW) in 10th-generation populations of...
