RNA-Seq reveals seven promising candidate genes affecting the proportion of thick egg albumen in layer-type chickens. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 Eggs with a much higher proportion of thick albumen are preferred in the layer industry, as they are favoured by consumers. However, the genetic factors affecting the thick egg albumen trait have not been elucidated. Using RNA sequencing, we explored the

QTL mapping of egg albumen quality in egg layers [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2013 A fresh, good quality egg has a firm and gelatinous albumen that anchors the yolk and restricts growth of microbiological pathogens. As the egg ages, the gel-like structure collapses, resulting in thin and runny albumen. Occasionally thin albumen is found in a fresh egg, giving the impression of a low quality product. A mapping population consisting of

Chemerin is secreted by the chicken oviduct, accumulates in egg albumen and could promote embryo development. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 Understanding of the distribution of chemerin and its receptors, Chemokine-like Receptor 1 (CMKLR1), G Protein-coupled Receptor 1 (GPR1) and Chemokine (C–C motif) receptor-like 2 (CCRL2), in the egg and the embryonic annexes is currently lacking, and ...

Chronic heat stress part 1: Decrease in egg quality, increase in cortisol levels in egg albumen, and reduction in fertility of breeder pekin ducks. [PDF]
Front Physiol, 2022 Global warming poses detrimental effects on poultry production leading to substantial economic losses. The goal of our experiment was to test the hypothesis that heat stress (HS) would alter welfare and egg quality (EQ) of breeder ducks.

Egg Albumen as a Fast and Strong Medical Adhesive Glue [PDF]
Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2017 AbstractSutures penetrate tissues to close wounds. This process leads to inflammatory responses, prolongs healing time, and increases operation complexity. It becomes even worse when sutures are applied to stress‐sensitive and fragile tissues. By bonding tissues via forming covalent bonds, some medical adhesives are not convenient to be used by ...

Tandem mass tag-based quantitative proteomics analysis and gelling properties in egg albumen of laying hens feeding tea polyphenols. [PDF]
Poult Sci, 2020 The tea polyphenol (TP) can improve the egg albumen quality in laying hens; however, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms and proteomic changes in the egg albumen remains limited.

Identification of potential genomic regions and candidate genes for egg albumen quality by a genome-wide association study. [PDF]
Arch Anim Breed, 2019 Albumen quality is a leading economic trait in the chicken industry. Major studies have paid attention to genetic architecture underlying albumen quality. However, the putative quantitative trait locus (QTL) for this trait is still unclear.
