Model of physiological stress in chickens 1. Response parameters.

TL;DR: This model is the first to show in a single experiment all the major adaptive stress responses of chickens, as well as relative weights of the major immunobiological organs, which were decreased and increased due to lipid and moisture accumulation.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid biosynthesis and transport in the domestic chick (Gallus domesticus)

TL;DR: The primary function of chick adipose tissue appears to be one of lipid storage rather than lipid synthesis, and triglyceride occurring in the plasma as β- or low-density lipoprotein is the main transport form of lipid from liver to adipose tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impaired development of broiler chickens by stress mimicked by corticosterone exposure.

TL;DR: The results suggest that corticosterone administration enhanced hepatic fatty acid synthesis and resulted in the redistribution of energy to abdominal store from peripheral tissues and diet rich in lipid content was favorable to the central fat deposit in stressed broiler chickens.

Lipogenesis in isolated adipose tissue of the domestic chick (Gallus domesticus)

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

In Vivo Lipogenesis in the Domestic Chicken

TL;DR: The ability of chicks to utilize glucose-U- 14C and acetate-1-14C as substrates for lipid synthesis has been studied and chick adipose tissue was found to be of minor importance as compared to liver.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo fatty acid synthesis in adipose tissue and liver of meal-fed rats.

TL;DR: The results of these studies show that lipogenesis is enhanced in liver and adipose tissue of intact rats as a consequence of meal-feeding, and that in the nibbling rat 50-90% of the fatty acids are synthesized in adipOSE tissue whereas when fatty acid synthesis is stimulated by meal- feeding, adiposes tissue apparently accounts for about 95% ofthe total fatty acids synthesized.
