Effects of age [day of hatch (DOH), day 4 posthatch (D4), and day 14 posthatch (D14)], adipose tissue depot [subcutaneous (SQ), clavicular (CL), and abdominal (AB)], line (low- and high-body weight-selected lines; LWS and HWS, respectively), and the interactions between age (A), depot (D), and line (L) on adipocyte area and diameter are shown. Values represent least squares means and pooled SE with associated P values for each effect (n = 10). Superscripted letters denote differences at P < 0.05.
