MITOCHONDRIAL DYSFUNCTION AND CALCIUM DYSHOMEOSTASIS IN THE PECTORALIS MAJOR MUSCLE OF BROILER CHICKENS WITH WOODEN BREAST MYOPATHY

Mitochondrial dysfunction and calcium dyshomeostasis in the pectoralis major muscle of broiler chickens with wooden breast myopathy

ABSTRACT: The incidence of wooden breast (WB) meat of commercial broiler chicken has been increasing in recent years.Histological examination found that the occurrence of WB myopathy was accompanied by the pectoralis major (PM) muscle damage.So far, the potential mechanisms are not fully understood.This study aimed to explore the underlying mechani

Pool size measurements facilitate the determination of fluxes at branching points in nonstationary metabolic flux analysis: The case of Arabidopsis thaliana

Pool size measurements are important for the estimation of absolute intracellular fluxes in particular scenarios based on data from heavy carbon isotope experiments.Recently, steady-state fluxes estimates were obtained for central carbon metabolism in an intact illuminated rosette of Arabidopsis thaliana grown photoautotrophically (Szecowka et al.,
