Endocrine Control of Avian Carbohydrate Metabolism
TLDR
The earliest detection of plasma glucose in chick embryos has been approximately day 4 of incubation and the values obtained at this stage of development progressively rise until by hatching time they are essentially “adult” levels of 190 mg.%.About:

Lipid Biosynthesis in the Chick. A Consideration of Site of Synthesis, Influence of Diet and Possible Regulatory Mechanisms
TL;DR: The available evidence suggests that in the chicken, and presumably other avian species, fatty acids are synthesized in liver and are transported as triglycerides in the plasma low-density lipoproteins to the adipose tissue for storage.
Book ChapterDOI
Fat Storage and Fat Metabolism in Relation to Migration
TL;DR: The pivotal role played by fat in suppyling energy for migration in birds has been appreciated for nearly 4 decades and reviewed extensively and a scheme for classifying environmental and endogenous factors that regulate migratory phenomenon was proposed.

Effect of Supplemental Dietary Chromium or Nicotinic Acid on Carbohydrate Metabolism During Basal, Starvation, and Refeeding Periods in Poults
TL;DR: Chromium supplementation increased in the vitro incorporation of (14C) glucose into glycogen during basal, starvation and refeeding periods (P less than .01), again, regardless of protein level.

Chromium and Vanadium Effects on Glucose Metabolism and Lipid Synthesis in the Chick
Michael A. Cupo,W. E. Donaldson +1 more
TL;DR: In vitro studies on the uptake and oxidation of glucose by liver slices from chicks fed the basal diet were conducted and a chromium vanadium antagonism was observed in some metabolic processes but not on body or organ weight.

Isolation and characterization of chicken insulin.
TL;DR: A method is described for isolation of insulin from chicken pancreas which makes use of modifications of established procedures to deal with the low insulin content of the tissue and permits isolation of significant quantities of the hormone.

Lipogenesis in isolated adipose tissue of the domestic chick (Gallus domesticus)
E.K. O'Hea,Gilbert A. Leveille +1 more
TL;DR: Malic enzyme activity is high in chick liver homogenates and may be a primary source of reducing equivalents for lipid synthesis in this organ, and pentose cycle dehydrogenase enzymes is low in both chick liver and adipose tissue homogenate.

Effects of fasting and insulin on carbohydrate metabolism of the domestic fowl
R. L. Hazelwood,F. W. Lorenz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of long-term fasting were investigated in birds and it was shown that the daily injection of 60 −70 u of either regular or HGF-free insulin per kilogram body weight resulted in an hyperglycemic rebound 24 hours after each injection.

Glucagon Deficiency Induced by Extirpation of Alpha Islets of the Fowl Pancreas
Shin-ichi Mikami,Kazuyuki Ono +1 more
TL;DR: The endocrine-morphologic relationship between the pancreatic islet cells of the fowl was investigated by morphologic observation of the architecture and distribution of the islets and physiologic examination of fowls deprived of the alpha-islet-containing portion of the pancreas.
