Cardiac implications of chicken wooden breast myopathy.

However, functional gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of the global changes in gene expression between mildly and severely affected chickens, identified an interesting trend: Functions associated with inflammation and acute phase response were enriched with a positive Normalized Enrichment Score (NES) in severely WB-affected chickens, while functions associated with cell proliferation and metabolism were enriched with a negative NES ( Figures 6A–C ). 4 Discussion In the present study, we have investigated the histological and molecular alterations in the hearts of mildly and severely WB-affected chickens.
