HIGHLIGHTS
- who: J. J. Lees from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the paper: The physiological and neuroendocrine correlates of hunger in the Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus), in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: The authors compare AgRP, POMC and NPY RNA levels in the hypothalamus of Red Junglefowl chicks raised under ad libitum, chronic restriction and intermittent feeding regimens. By assessing the relationship between hypothalamic gene_expression and carcass traits, the authors show for the first time in birds that AgRP and POMC are responsive to fat-related measures and therefore represent long-term energy status.
