Following the goose liver development by means of cross-sectional digital imaging, liver histology and blood biochemical parameters

Abstract: A follow-up study was performed to describe characteristic physiological alterations by means of computer tomography, direct chemical analysis and histology of the liver, and blood biochemical parameters during conventional force-feeding of Landes geese. 30 birds were exposed to an 18-day long force-feeding. Sampling was performed at the start and during force-feeding (7th, 11th, 14th, 18th days). Computer tomographic data were plotted in 3D histograms, effectively indicating the volumetric development and the… Show more

“…The fatty goose liver production of Hungary is nearly 2000 t per annum, being a world leader, and the country has old traditions of fattening [2]. During gavage the birds are strongly overfed with high-fat diets that provides, besides 8-10-fold liver mass increase, severe dyslipidemia [3]. Because of the force-feeding procedure, gavage-based foie gras production is controversial and production or retailed products are denied in several countries, and there is an expressed need for avoiding gavage in foie gras production.…”

“…In overfed geese, liver weight can increase from approximately 100 g to approximately 800 g in 2 weeks due to a large amount of lipid accumulation8. The capacity for and the tolerance to severe hepatic steatosis without overt liver injuries9 suggests the existence of prosteatotic and protective components in goose. Using goose as a unique model for fatty liver study, these components may be identified and thus provide novel therapeutic targets to combat human NAFLD.…”
