Table 1.
Adipose and muscle weights, and percentage of each tissue compared to body weight of WT, HE, and HO quail hens at 4 months old.
| Items | WT | HE | HO |
|---|---|---|---|
| Body Weight (BW, g) | 131.02 ± 1.90 b | 131.82 ± 1.57 b | 145.09 ± 2.12 a |
| Leg Fat (g) | 0.44 ± 0.06 a | 0.35 ± 0.04 ab | 0.28 ± 0.03 b |
| Leg Fat Percentage (%) | 0.36 ± 0.04 a | 0.27 ± 0.03 ab | 0.19 ± 0.02 b |
| Abdominal Fat (g) | 0.22 ± 0.03 a | 0.19 ± 0.02 ab | 0.14 ± 0.02 b |
| Abdominal Fat Percentage (%) | 0.17 ± 0.02 a | 0.15 ± 0.02 ab | 0.10 ± 0.01 b |
| Pectoralis Major (PM, g) | 17.34 ± 0.43 b | 17.93 ± 0.34 b | 22.21 ± 0.52 a |
| PM Percentage (%) | 13.23 ± 0.24 b | 13.60 ± 0.20 b | 15.30 ± 0.21 a |
The values are average ± SEM. n = 9 WT, 9 HE and 10 HO. One-way ANOVA was used for statistical analysis by the GraphPad PRISM. a,b Means that have no superscript in common in a row are different (p < 0.05).
