Variation in sequence and expression of the avian FTO, and association with glucose metabolism, body weight, fatness and body composition in chickens.

International journal of obesity (2005) - 1 Aug 2012

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO), a crucial gene that affects human obesity and metabolism, has been widely studied in mammals but remains poorly characterized in birds. We aimed to identify variant FTO transcripts in domestic avian species, and to characterize the expression and biological functions of FTO in chickens. METHODS: Variant FTO transcripts and their expression in birds were...
