Effect of Dietary Betaine Supplementation on mRNA Expression and Promoter CpG Methylation of Lipoprotein Lipase Gene in Laying Hens

In laying hens, dietary betaine supplementation is reported to reduce abdominal fat, however, the mechanism of which remains largely unknown. The present study investigated the effect of dietary betaine supplementation on mRNA expression and the promoter CpG dinucleotide methylation profiles of chi...
