Chickens were divided into five groups （five dietary treatments differing in source and concentration of plant oil and fish oil）. Feeding chickens with diets of determined composition from 22nd to 42nd day of fattening resulted in altered fatty acid profile in white meat and dark meat, and in significantly lowered n-6/n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids （PUFA） ratio in white meat. Increase of n-3 PUFA concentration in diets resulted in statistically significant （P = 0.001） increase of n-3 PUFA, as well as in decrease （P = 0.02） of n-6 PUFA in white and dark chicken meat in the 1 st experiment. The 2nd experiment resulted in statistically significant increase of n-3 PUFA concentration in white and dark chicken meat （P 〈 0.001）, and n-6 PUFA concentration decreased only in dark chicken meat （P 〈 0.001）. The increase of PUFA in both experiments was accompanied with decrease of saturated fatty acids （SFA） concentration in chicken meat. Although all experimental treatments were assessed as having more fishy odour and flavour than the control sample, statistically significant difference between samples was found only for fishy flavour in dark meat （P 〈 0.05）. In the 2nd experiment, where the feeding treatment was altered seven days before chickens＇ slaughtering （fish oil was omitted）, the intensity of fishy odour and flavour was assessed with ＂none＂ to ＂slightly noticeable＂ （P 〉 0.05）. In order to produce chicken meat as functional product, it is possible to reach balance between high n-3 PUFA concentration and satisfactory sensory traits characteristics of chicken meat.展开更多

The main objective of this study was to assess the expression of calcineudn （CAN） and Ca^2＋/calmodutin-dependent protein kinase （CAME） in lipogene- sis in chicken muscle. The chickens were slaughtered and sampled at the ages of 4, 8, and 16 weeks, respectively. IMF content and the expression of CaN subunits and CaMK isoforms were measured in thigh muscle tissue. The results showed that the IMF contents were higher in chickens at the age of 16 weeks compared with those in chickens at the ages of 4 and 8 weeks （P〈0.05）. The expression levels of fatty acid synthase （FAS） and fatty acid translocase CD36 （FAT/CD36） mRNA in 16-week-old chickens were all significantly up-regulated compared with those in 4-week-old chickens （P〈0.05）. The mRNA levels of CaNB and CaMK IV in 16-week-old chickens were significantly lower than those in 4-week-old chickens （P〈0.05）. But the CaMK II mRNA levels in 16-week-old chickens were significantly higher than those in 4-week-old chickens （P〈0.05）. To investigate the roles of CaMK and CaN in adipogenesis, SV cells were incubated in standard adipogenesis medium for 24 h and treated with specific inhibitor of CaMK and CaN. The ex- pressions of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β（C/EBPJ3）, sterol regulatory element- binding protein 1 （SREBP1） and peroxisome proliferation-activated receptor ）, （PPARy） were dramatically enhanced by CsA and CaN inhibitor （P〈0.05）. KN93, a CaMK Ⅱ inhibitor, dramatically repressed the expression of those lipogenic genes （P〈0.05）. All the results above indicated that CaN and CaMK had different effects on adipogenesis in the muscle of chickens.展开更多
