In addition to direct response correlated responses have altered several other traits such as carcass adiposity and lipid contents of several tissues the R animals being leaner than the R ones. In a search for the biological origin of the differences observed in fat deposit the hepatic mRNA amounts of genes involved in lipid metabolism were investigated. No difference was found between lines for mRNA levels of ATP citrate-lyase acetyl-CoA carboxylase fatty acid synthase malic enzyme and CCAAT enhancer binding protein a a transcription factor acting on several lipogenesis genes. The genes coding for stearoyl-CoA desaturase and apolipoprotein A1 displayed significantly lower mRNA levels in the R cockerels compared to the R . All together these mRNA levels explained 40 of the overall variability of abdominal adipose tissue weight suggesting an important role of both genes in the fatness variability. laying fowl food efficiency fatness mRNA liver Résumé Expression hépatique de genes de la lipogénèse chez des lignées di-vergentes de poules pondeuses sélectionnées sur la consommation alimentaire résiduelle.
