Plasma very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) concentration was measured with turbidimetric assay. The experimental results showed that there was a close relationship between plasma VLDL concentration and egg composition traits, and a positive phenotypic correlation trend was found between 29-week plasma VLDL concentration and 44-week yolk weight, and the genetic correlation coefficient was 0.234. Both the phenotypic and genetic correlations between 29-week plasma VLDL concentration and albumen weight were negative. Significant positive phenotypie correlations were, however, observed between yolk ratio, or the yolk/albumen ratio and 29-week plasma VLDL concentration, and their genetic correlation coefficients were 0.250 and 0.223, respectively.展开更多
