Adipose tissue lipogenesis and fat deposition in leaner broiler chickens
Article Abstract:
The relative proportion of hepatic and adipose tissue lipogenesis contributing to adipose tissue growth in broiler chickens was investigated. The effect of manipulating plasma lipoprotein flux was also studied. Results indicate that 80% to 85% of fat deposition in young broiler chickens are from plasma triglyceride proteins. Adipose tissue lipogenesis accounts for the remainder. Genetic, nutritional or immunological decreases in plasma lipoproteins had not affected or decreased adipose tissue lipogenesis.

Spotlight on mechanical services
Article Abstract:
The UK mechanical services sector is expected to see an increase in enquiries in 1997. Indeed, many mechanical contractors are already turning down tender opportunities on competitive design-and-build work, where tender lists are long and there are high risks. Workload seems to be rising steadily, but this has not yet had an impact on tender prices, with margins still being very low. Lead times are now nine weeks.
