Figure 1.

Depiction of energy production and conveying system enhanced in breast muscle of Pedigree Male Broilers exhibiting a high feed efficiency phenotype. The figure is modified from ones presented in Brdiczka et al. (2006) and Schlattner et al. (2006) using data from proteogenomic data reported previously (Kong et al., 2011; 2016, Bottje et al., 2012;2014). Molecules in red and green indicate proteins or genes up-regulated or down-regulated, respectively, in the high FE Pedigree Male Phenotype. Molecules in yellow were predicted to be activated in the high FE Pedigree Male phenotype based on expression of downstream molecules (Kong et al., 2016). Processes that are shown are described in the text in detail. Abbreviations: OMM (Outer mitochondrial membrane), IMM (Inner mitochondrial membrane), PG (progesterone), T3 (tri-iodothyronine).
