Abstract excerpt
The quantitative traits of mass and percentage of abdominal fat in chicken and various types of obesity in mammals are homologous and functionally similar. Therefore, the genes involved in obesity development in humans and laboratory rodents as well as those responsible for pig lard thickness could be involved in abdominal fat deposition in broilers. Expression of candidate genes FABP1, FABP2, FABP3, HMGA1, MC4R,...
