Glucose and lipid metabolic pathways in goose liver. The diagram shown is based on established KEGG pathways and hepatic lipid-metabolism findings from previous studies. The solid lines represent single-step reactions, whereas the dotted lines indicate multi-step reactions. Red and green italic letters represent increased and decreased liver gene expression levels, respectively, when comparing a goose overfed a carbohydrate-rich diet vs. the control group fed a normal diet. Gene symbols: acc, acetyl-Coenzyme A carboxylase; acly, ATP citrate lyase; apoB, apolipoprotein B; cs, citrate synthase; dgat2, diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2; elovl6, elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 6; fads1, fatty acid desaturase 1; fads2, fatty acid desaturase 2; fasn, fatty acid synthase; gpi, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase; hk1, hexokinase 1; lep, leptin; lpl, lipoprotein lipase; pdh, pyruvate dehydrogenase; pfkm, phosphofructokinase; scd, stearoyl-CoA desaturase; fatp, fatty acid transporter protein; pksG, hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase.
