Background Vitellogenin (VTG) is a precursor of egg yolk proteins synthesized within the
liver of oviparous vertebrates. Betaine is an important methyl donor that is reported to …

In avian species, liver lipid metabolism plays an important role in egg laying performance.
Previous studies indicate that betaine supplementation in laying hens improves egg …

Betaine is widely used as a feed additive in the chicken industry to promote laying
performance and growth performance, yet it is unknown whether betaine can be used in …

Betaine, an important methyl donor, is known to execute epigenetic regulation of gene
expression via nutritional reprogramming. Herein, we explore whether feeding a betaine …

Betaine is widely used in animal nutrition to promote growth, development and methyl donor
during methionine metabolism through nutritional reprogramming via regulation of gene …

Objective The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of dietary betaine
(BT) supplementation on the hepatic transcriptome profiles in broiler chickens raised under …

Dietary methionine (Met) restriction produces a coordinated series of transcriptional
responses in the liver that limits growth performance and amino acid metabolism. Methyl …

Betaine, a highly valuable feed additive, has been observed to alter the distribution of
protein and fat in the bodies of ruminants and to exhibit strong antioxidant properties …

Purpose In this study, we sought to investigate the effects of maternal betaine
supplementation on the expression and regulation of GALK1 gene in the liver of neonatal …

Heat stress (HS) negatively affects feed intake, laying performance, reproductive
performance, egg quality (ATTIA et al., 2006; 2011) as well as the fertility of breeders …
