Associations of the CEL indel genotypes with the biochemical variables in blood investigated in chickens.
| Serum variables | (Mean ± SE) | p value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| II (n = 243) | ID (n = 415) | DD (n = 136) | ||
| ALT | 2.06 ± 0.14a | 1.80 ± 0.10ab | 1.32 ± 0.18b | 0.004 |
| GGT | 15.79 ± 0.48ab | 15.94 ± 0.40a | 14.44 ± 0.58b | 0.032 |
| ALB | 17.02 ± 0.20a | 16.55 ± 0.17b | 16.52 ± 0.24ab | 0.033 |
| TC | 3.20 ± 0.05 | 3.18 ± 0.04 | 3.06 ± 0.06 | 0.101 |
| TG | 0.43 ± 0.01 | 0.41 ± 0.01 | 0.41 ± 0.01 | 0.145 |
| HDL | 2.001 ± 0.037 | 1.986 ± 0.032 | 1.962 ± 0.043 | 0.671 |
| LDL | 1.052 ± 0.031 | 1.038 ± 0.026 | 0.971 ± 0.038 | 0.152 |
Note: ALT: alanine transaminase, GGT: gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, ALB: albumin, TC: total cholesterol, TG: triglyceride, HDL: high density lipoprotein, LDL: low-density lipoprotein.
SE = standard error of the mean; means with different superscripts indicate significant differences: different lowercase letters indicate p < 0.05; and the same letters indicate no difference (p > 0.05).
