1. Putative adipocyte precursor cells were isolated from the white adipose tissue of young broiler and layer chickens and cultured in vitro. 2. The cells from both sources were shown to have the characteristics of adipocyte precursor cells. On reaching confluence, lipoprotein lipase activity was induced and the cells from both strains accumulated large amounts of lipid in the presence of chicken serum. 3. Measurement of cell number over time in culture and calculation of cell doubling times showed that cells from broilers proliferated at a faster rate than those derived from layer-strain chickens. This was the case whether primary or secondary cell cultures were used. Primary cultures of broiler cells had a doubling time of 22 h versus 39 h for layer cells. 4. The contribution of such a difference in proliferative rate to the differential rate of adipose tissue growth between broiler and layer strains observed in vivo is discussed.

Characterization of Lipogenic and Lipolytic Activity, Muscle Tissue Composition, and DNA and RNA Levels of Broilers Eating Ad Libitum or Severely Restricted at an Early Age

et al. 1993

Four experiments were conducted to characterize the rates of lipogenic and lipolytic activities and the composition and DNA and RNA concentrations in muscle tissue of broilers that were feed restricted at an early age. In all experiments, feed restriction (40 kcal/day per bird) was initiated at 4 days of age with ad libitum consumption of feed resuming at either 11 (Experiments 1 and 2) or 10 (Experiments 3 and 4) days of age. Female chicks in Experiment 1 were feed restricted at the same level from 4 to 9 days of age. Birds consuming feed ad libitum served as controls in all experiments. Broilers restricted for 7 days had significantly lower plasma very low density plus low density lipoproteins (VLDL+LDL) than the ad libitum birds at 49 days of age in Experiments 1 and 2. However, the reverse was observed at 28 days of age, as plasma triglycerides and lipoproteins and lipogenesis were greater in restricted chicks when compared with controls. No significant differences were observed in plasma triglycerides at 49 days of age or lipolysis, DNA and RNA concentrations, muscle protein, and muscle fat at 28 days of age between restricted and ad libitum broilers. Results from these studies indicate that early feed restriction may have induced a metabolic shift in restricted broilers that increased lipogenesis at 28 days of age, followed by a partitioning of excess nutrients to support anabolic activity at market age.
