- Abstract
The article focuses on a study to examine effects of atrogin-l/MAFbx messenger RNA (mRNA) gene expression in the smooth muscle of gizzards derived from egg- and meat-type chickens. Topics discussed include mRNA expression in smooth muscle was higher in meat-type chickens as compared to egg-type chickens, muscle protein degradation in meat-type chickens is less than egg-type chickens and body weight of meat-type chickens was greater than egg-type chickens.
