Course description
“Molecular nutritional regulation on lipid and glucose metabolism in domestic animals”

Excessive fat deposition in broilers has been developed by a genetic improvement to a high growth rate and feed intake, and received great attention of producer and consumers. The metabolic disease, such as ascites and fat liver, has been accompanied by fat deposition. According to these aspects, I have studied the regulation of lipid and glucose metabolism in chickens for the production of high quality meat with less fat, i.e. (1) Effective manipulation of fatness chickens, (2) Characterization of cholesterol metabolism in chickens, (3) Development of chicken oocyte ?the production of designer eggs-, and (4) Identification of regulatory molecule in chicken species-specific glucose metabolism.
This lecture introduces our previous studies on molecular nutrition in farm animals and will discuss the further studies for animal productions.
