Body weight (g) 150.8±6.8a 521.7±21.6b 1862.5±34.3c 4124.0±77.4d
Right breast muscle (g) 6.2±0.4a 36.9±1.9b 185.9±3.2c 503.5±20.1d
Plasma insulin (ng/ml) 1.90±0.37 1.47±0.38 1.34±0.21 0.87±0.19
Plasma Nτ-methylhistidine (nmol/ml) 22.55±2.27ab 19.08±1.96ab 15.74±1.55a 28.36±4.26b

Values are means±SEM of six chickens in each group. Data were analyzed by the Tukey-Kramer method. Groups with different letters were significantly different (P<0.05).
