et al.

Abstract: Free amino acids were estimated in the plasma of Leghorn, Cornish and White Rock hens, bred under identical conditions. It was found that the plasma of Leghorn hens had a lower content of amino acids. The differences were especially pronounced for proline, glutamic acid and glycine. It was established that a lower percentage of valine, leucine and isoleucine was typical of Leghorn hens in comparison with Cornish hens. The obtained results indicate that the level of free amino acids in blood plasma is genetical… Show more

Differences in reaction to exogenous insulin and adrenalin were studied among chickens of 'Leghorn', 'White Rock' and 'Rhode Island Red' breeds, using level of blood glucose as indicator of the reaction to hormones. It was found that: 1.) The physiological quantity of glucose in blood in chickens of the three breeds ranged from 157 to 194 mg %. 2.) The reaction of chickens to insulin and adrenalin given alternately, measured by changes of blood glucose, differed according to the breed. The smallest reaction to hormones was in 'Leghorn', the biggest in 'White Rock'. 3.) The chickens of 'Leghorn' and 'Rhode Island Red' breeds, as well as 'Leghorn' and 'White Rock' breeds, differed significantly in maximal glucose level after adrenalin, 4.) The correlation between the normal quantity of blood glucose and the body weight of birds appeared highly significant in cockerels of all three races combined.

The content of free amino acids was determined in erythrocytes of adult 'Leghorn' (Lg, 'White Rock' (WR) and 'Cornish' (Cr) hens, bred under identical conditions. The concentration of total amino acids was twice as high in the erythrocytes as in plasma, amounting to 396 μm/100 ml, 424 μm/100 ml and 475μm/100 ml in 'White Rock', 'Cornish' and 'Leghorn' hens, respectively.Significant differences were found in the ratio of basic amino acids to acidic amino acids. These values were 0.76, 1.75 and 3.19 in 'White Rick', 'Leghorn' and 'Cornish' hens, respectively; in the plasma of all 3 breeds the ratio was 1. Statistically significant interbreed differences were expressed more distinctly in erythrocyte than in plasma amino acid concentrations. For absolute concentrations the differences were significant in the case of 9 amino acids.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
