Effect of Fasting on the Adipose Tissue Weight in Chicks, with Reference to Changes in Triglyceride Synthesis and Fatty Acid Oxidation

Abstract

Triglyceride synthesis and fatty acid oxidation in the chick adipose tissue were studied by measuring the incorporation of [1-14C] acetate or [1-14C] palmitate into triglycerides

Enzyme Activities Related to Lipid Metabolism in the Liver and Adipose Tissue of Tsaiya Ducks under Fasting and Ad libitum Feeding Conditions

“…The results of Hasegawa et al (1994a) indicated that the LPL activity of chicks decreased during fasting. Also, Gasquet and Pequignot (1972) noted that LPL activity decreased in mouse adipose tissue during fasting.…”

“…Previous investigations have indicated that fasting decreases the lipogenesis capacity and increases the lipolysis rate of chickens (Calabotta et al, 1985;Goldman et al, 1985;Hasegawa et al, 1994b;Leveille et al, 1975). Other works noted increased activities of lipoprotein lipase (Hasegawa et al, 1994a) and hormone-sensitive lipase (Anthony et al, 1990) in fasting chickens. Also, the lipid metabolism of chickens in the laying period differs from that in the growing period (Walzem, 1996).…”
