title: Accumulation of amino acids and glucose in isolated epitheliocytes from the small intestine of chickens depending on both breed and sex.
abstract: 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.
