TI Depletion of glycogen reserves in fasting broiler chickens

QU British Poultry Science 1988 Mar; 29(1): 149-54

PT journal article

AB 1. Male broiler chickens were killed at various times up to 36 h after withdrawal of food; hepatic and muscle glycogen concentrations and pH were compared with those of control birds given continuous access to food and water. 2. Liver glycogen was reduced to negligible concentrations (less than 1 mg/g) within 6 h of food deprivation and the initial pH was elevated. 3. Withdrawal of food had no effect on glycogen concentrations in the m. pectoralis superficialis (PS) but reduced them in the m. biceps femoris (BF); the reduction was significant after 12 h. Ultimate pH was elevated by fasting in the BF, but not the PS.
