Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) is proposed to be the hormone that controls phosphate (P) homeostasis in chickens. This study was initiated to investigate the effect of feeding young chicks diets that were either adequate (0.45%) or marginal (0.

Medullary bone is a specialized bone found in the marrow cavity of laying birds. It provides a significant contribution to the calcium supply for egg shell formation. Medullary bone is distinguished from cortical bone by the presence of large amounts of a keratan sulfate proteoglycan (KSPG).

Northern blotting, RT-PCR, and Western blotting techniques were used to characterize the matrix constituents of avian cortical and medullary bone. Extracts of bone tissue were found to contain multiple isoforms of bone sialoprotein (BSP), osteopontin (OPN), osteonectin (ON), osteocalcin (OC), and dentin matrix protein-1 (DMP-1). Only single transcripts were observed with Northern blotting; therefore it was concluded that the isoforms were due to differences in post-translational modifications.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of zinc deficiency on chondrocyte proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis in the epiphyseal growth plate of juvenile chickens. Newly hatched broiler chickens were fed either a low zinc (10 mg/kg diet) or a zinc-adequate (68 mg/kg diet) soy protein-based purified diet. Cell proliferation in the growth plate was evaluated with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) labeling.
