Gene Expression of Muscle-Specific Ubiquitin Ligase, Atrogin-1/MAFbx, Positively Correlates with Skeletal Muscle Proteolysis in Food-Deprived Broiler Chickens

Gene Expression of Muscle-Specific Ubiquitin Ligase, Atrogin-1/MAFbx, Positively Correlates with Skeletal Muscle Proteolysis in Food-Deprived Broiler Chickens

A relationship between skeletal muscle proteolysis and mRNA expression of atrogin-1/MAFbx, a muscle-specific ubiquitin ligase, was examined in food-deprived broiler chickens. In response to food deprivation for 24 and 48h, body and muscle weights decreased in a time-dependent manner. Muscle free N...
