Genes involved in the establishment of hepatic steatosis in Muscovy, Pekin and mule ducks

Abstract: Our main objectives were to determine the genes involved in the establishment of hepatic steatosis in three genotypes of palmipeds. To respond to this question, we have compared Muscovy ducks, Pekin ducks and their crossbreed the mule duck fed ad libitum or overfed. We have shown a hepatic overexpression of fatty acid synthase (FAS) and di-acyl glycerol acyl transferase 2 (DGAT2) in overfed individuals, where DGAT2 seemed to be more regulated. This increase in lipogenesis genes is associated with a decrease of… Show more

“…Overfeeding increased liver weight and fattening levels in the control group, in line with previous studies [ 8 , 9 , 14 , 60 ]. However, while the body weight was affected by both probiotic supplementations during the first 28 days, other growth parameters (liver, fat and muscle weights) were not improved.…”

“…Next, the plasma concentrations of glucose and triglycerides (TG) increased between SP and Eof point, which is quite consistent with the metabolic state of overfed ducks and geese, where significant changes occur [ 13 , 14 , 68 , 69 ]. So as previously described in these studies, the overfeeding period strongly increased the TG and glucose plasma concentration in our study as well.…”

“…Second important conclusion is that many genes are differentially expressed in the four genetic types. This suggests that response to overfeeding and consequently development of hepatic steatosis is a complex trait involving many genes and functions and is not well described by the expression of few candidate genes [6][7][8][9], even if expressions of these genes are well correlated to fatty liver weight [6].…”

“…However, they mainly focused on biochemical levels [1][2][3][4][5]. Some studies also focused on gene expression levels but were conducted on few candidate genes only [6][7][8][9]. This was mainly due to the lack of duck speci c microarrays for transcriptome analyses at the genome level.…”
