Enhanced expression of proteins involved in energy production and transfer in breast muscle of pedigree male broilers exhibiting high feed efficiency.

In the proteomic study, the importance of mitochondria in this FE model was reemphasized in that; 1) there was a highly significant binomial skew of up-regulated to down-regulated mitochondrial proteins in high FE breast muscle that included several electron transport chain proteins as well as ANT and VDAC, and 2) the prediction of activation of the electron transport chain complexes 1, 3, 4, and 5 in the high FE phenotype that concurred with our previous findings.
