| Summary: | abdominal adipose tissue substantially increased in mass, body weight. These observations indicated that abdominal fat characteristics at the beginning of the experiment and at concentration, or body composition were detected within a consistent with current hypotheses of adipose tissue cellular detected between replicate groups of chicks. No significant determined. Absolute mass of the abdominal fat removed and development. differences in live weight, measures of adipocyte size and effects of lipectomy on normal adipose growth were not eight days of age abdominal adipose depot samples were eight days of age significant treatment effects were detected excised, fixed, and cell number and size determined in forty-eight days of age. Body composition also was group of birds were analyzed for body composition. At forty- hypertrophy or hyperplasia. Mean adipocyte volume did not in abdominal fat mass, fat as a percentage of body weight, increase to compensate for the loss of abdominal adipose lipectomy and sham birds. Cell growth effects of the mean adipocyte volume and adipocyte number. Extrapolated not fully compensate for adipose removal either by number of adipocytes per pad and number of cells per unit pad size was reduced by lipectomy and that tissue growth did planned by experimental design. A replication effect was removed to stimulate tissue reaction by the removal of replication at the beginning of the experiment. By forty- sham-operated or had abdominal adipose tissue surgically substantial proportions of adipocytes. An unoperated Control the weight of fat removed expressed as a percentage of body tissue mass following surgery. These findings occurred as treatments were extrapolated from these depot cell Twenty to twenty-four day old broiler chickens either were weight were significantly different between treatments as |
