Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Uncoupling protein one (UCP1) is involved in thermogenesis, especially in non-shivering heat production. In chickens, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the av-UCP (avian UCP) gene has been reported to be associated with body weight gain and increased abdominal fat. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the av-UCP gene SNP and heat production in chicks. METHODS: C/C...
