Table 4. Effects of haplotype of the genes fatty acid desaturase 1 (FADS1) and 2 (FADS2) on the fatty acid profile of Hinai-jidori thigh meat (mean±SE).
Combined haplotypes of FADS1 and FADS2 | A-A | G-A | G-G |
Frequencies of plausible haplotypes under linkage equilibrium | 0.453 | 0.359 | 0.188 |
Fatty acid % of total analyzed fatty acids | |||
AA | 0.99±0.12b | 1.24±0.15ab | 1.56±0.24a |
DHA | 0.25±0.04b | 0.32±0.04ab | 0.40±0.07a |
Means within a row without a common superscript letter are significantly different (P<0.05).
AA, arachidonic acid; DHA, docosahexaenoic acid; A, adenine; G, guanine.
