1. Acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase, malic enzyme, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and delta 9-desaturase activity was measured in liver extracts from 5- to 11-week-old genetically lean or fat chickens. 2. A significant difference between the two lines of chickens was shown as concerns desaturating activity only, which was 45% higher in the fat animals than in the lean ones. 3. This result is consistent with the hypothesis of a higher rate of lipoprotein processing and secretion in the liver of the fat line chickens.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids.

D000103 Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase A carboxylating enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ATP, acetyl-CoA, and HCO3- to ADP, orthophosphate, and malonyl-CoA. It is a biotinyl-protein that also catalyzes transcarboxylation. The plant enzyme also carboxylates propanoyl-CoA and butanoyl-CoA (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 6.4.1.2.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
