Adipogenic and Myogenic Potentials of Chicken Embryonic Fibroblasts in vitro: Combination of Fatty Acids and Insulin Induces Adipogenesis.

The regulation of adipocyte differentiation is an important factor for production efficiency and meat quality in the poultry industry. The purpose of this study was to develop a new in vitro model of adipogenic differentiation of chicken embryonic fibroblasts (CEF). In this study, CEF were isolated at embryonic day (E) 5, and adipogenic differentiation was induced with supplementation of fatty acids (FA) and/or insulin (Ins) for 48 h.
