Comparison of adipose tissue cellularity in chicken lines divergently selected for fatness
15 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
After 13 generations of divergent selection for abdominal fatness, 2 chicken lines (a fat line and a lean line) have been established. To clarify the cellular mechanism underlying the differences in fatness between the fat and lean lines, cellularity characteristics of the abdominal adipose tissues were analyzed during the first 7 wk of age by electron microscopy, proliferating cell nuclear antigen staining, and...
