Prospects for transgenesis in the chick [PDF]
Research to develop a useful method for genetic modification of the chick has been on-going since the first demonstrations in the mouse in the 1980s that genetic modification is an invaluable tool for the study of gene function. Manipulation of the chick

Mu-Opioid Receptor is Involved in β-Endorphin-Induced Feeding in the Meat-type Chick
β-Endorphin is an endogenous ligand for both mu- and delta-opioid receptors (MOR and DOR), and has an important role in feeding behavior in the central nervous system in mammals. The present study was done to elucidate whether central injection of &

p38 Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Regulates Oscillation of Chick Pineal Circadian Clock [PDF]
Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p38 are members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family, and in some cases these kinases serve for closely related cellular functions within a cell. In a wide range of animal clock structures,

Behavioral Responses of Chicks to a Saccharin-Quinine Mixture
To date, few reports have been published on the sensitivity of birds to sweet tastes. Therefore, in this study, the behavioral responses of White Leghorn chicks to the sweet taste of saccharin and the bitter taste of quinine were assessed.

Transporter Gene Expression and Transference of Fructose in Broiler Chick Intestine
Recent studies have suggested that a high-fructose diet leads to the development of metabolic syndrome in mammals. However, relatively little information is available regarding the absorption of fructose in the chicken intestine.

Acoustic mechanisms of a species-based discrimination of the chick-a-dee call in sympatric black-capped (Poecile atricapillus) and mountain chickadees (P. gambeli) [PDF]
Previous perceptual research with black-capped and mountain chickadees has demonstrated that these species treat each other’s namesake chick-a-dee calls as belonging to separate, open-ended categories.

Serotonergic Neurons in the Chick Brainstem Express Various Serotonin Receptor Subfamily Genes
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a phylogenetically conserved modulatory neurotransmitter. In mammals, 5-HT plays an important role in the regulation of many mental states and the processing of emotions in the central nervous system. Serotonergic
