Accumulation of amino acids and glucose in isolated epitheliocytes from the small intestine of chickens depending on both breed and sex.
In an experiment with chickens breed differences were established in accumulation of 14C-lysine, methionine and glycine, as well as intra-line differences in glycine accumulation in intestinal epitheliocytes from Plymouth Rock chickens. Differences were found in both methionine and glycine accumulation, between B line and four-line hybrids as well. Methionine accumulation in epitheliocytes from the small intestine of male chickens was higher than in female chickens from A line, higher than accumulation of tryptophane in both A and C lines and accumulation of glucose in D line. In male chickens of four-line hybrid, glycine accumulation was higher than in females.
