Hepatic lipid characteristics and histopathology of laying hens fed CLA or n-3 fatty acids

The effect of dietary CLA and n−3 PUFA on hepatic TAG accumulation, histopathology, and FA incorporation in lipid classes by laying chickens was investigated. One hundred twenty 30‐wk‐old single‐comb white leghorn laying hens were distributed randomly to four treatments (3 replications of 10 birds)...

Description
Summary:The effect of dietary CLA and n−3 PUFA on hepatic TAG accumulation, histopathology, and FA incorporation in lipid classes by laying chickens was investigated. One hundred twenty 30‐wk‐old single‐comb white leghorn laying hens were distributed randomly to four treatments (3 replications of 10 birds) and were fed diets containing CLA and animal fat (Diet I), 18∶3n−3 (Diet II), or long‐chain n−3 FA (Diet III). A sunflower oil (n−6 FA)‐based diet was the control. Feeding Diet I resulted in an increase in hepatic total lipids (P
