Abstract:Summary
Chickens aged 15 and 30 days were exposed to mild hypothermia (12 ± 1 °C, 7 h per day, for 15 days). Glycogen turnover was accelerated and the utilization of glucose carbon in protein synthesis was enhanced. Muscle respiration was enhanced, but the share of carbohydrates in oxidation was lowered. A large part of fodder glucose and liver glycogen was probably used in lipogenesis and then the lipids were oxidized in muscles. Age‐dependent differences were seen and are discussed; they suggest that the hyp… Show more
