Article Synopsis
  • A previous study found a link between a specific SNP (g.420 C>A) in the cholecystokinin type A receptor gene and improved growth traits in the Hinai-dori chicken breed from Japan.
  • In this study, researchers confirmed that the same SNP also positively affects growth traits in Hinai-jidori chickens, a hybrid of Hinai-dori and Rhode Island Red chickens.
  • The results indicated that chickens with the A/A genotype had significantly higher body weights and growth rates, suggesting that this SNP could be a valuable marker for enhancing growth in selective breeding programs for Hinai-jidori chickens.*

In this study, we investigated the relationship between age-related changes in renal α-Klotho gene expression, vitamin D metabolism and the responsiveness of dietary phosphate in 1, 2 and 13 month-old mice fed a high phosphate (phosphate 1.2%) diet or low phosphate (phosphate 0.02%) diet for 5 days.
