1. The objective of this study was to characterise the regulation of the pathways that synthesise long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on developing adipose deposits in broiler embryos and chicks. Subcutaneous adipose depots were harvested from embryos and embryonic d E13, E15 and E17. Subcutaneous, abdominal and crop (neck) adipose, as well as liver, were collected at 7 and 14 d post-hatch. 2. Targeted RNA sequencing was used to quantify expression of 6 elongation of very long-chain fatty acid ( Show less
