Effects of dietary alfalfa saponins on laying performance, egg cholesterol concentration, and ATP-binding cassette transporters G5 and G8 expression in laying hens

This experiment was designed to evaluate the potential for dietary alfalfa saponins (AS) to influence cholesterol (Ch) concentrations and the mRNA expressions of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) that concludes transporters G5 (ABCG5) and G8 (ABCG8) in the livers of laying hens. Hundred and fifty layin...
