Involvement of AMP-activated protein kinase in differential regulation of appetite between lines of chickens selected for low or high juvenile body weight
This study was to determine (1) if genetic selection for high (HWS) or low (LWS) body weight in chickens has altered the hypothalamic AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) system and (2) if this alteration contributes to the dissimilar feeding response to various appetite modulators between HWS and LW...
