Genetic variation in genes interacting with BRCA1/2 and risk of breast cancer in Cypriot population. [PDF]

, 2010
Inability to correctly repair DNA damage is known to play a role in the development of breast cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of DNA repair genes have been identified, which modify the DNA repair capacity, which in turn may affect the risk

Characterization of wooden breast myopathy: a focus on syndecans and ECM remodeling. [PDF]

Front Physiol, 2023
Introduction: The skeletal muscle deformity of commercial chickens (Gallus gallus), known as the wooden breast (WB), is associated with fibrotic myopathy of unknown etiology. For future breeding strategies and genetic improvements, it is essential to identify the molecular mechanisms underlying the phenotype.

Oxidative mechanism of chicken wooden breast myofibrillar protein

Food Science and Human Wellness
To explore the oxidation mechanism of wooden breast myofibrillar protein (WBMP), oxidative breast MP (OBMP) was obtained from different doses (3, 10, and 20 mmol/L) of H2O2 oxidized normal breast MP (NBMP).

Implications of wooden breast defect on technological properties of chicken breast fillets

, 2014
In the last few years, different muscle myopathies have mostly appeared in the breast muscle of broiler chickens. Wooden breast defect is a recent emerging myopathy which has been macroscopically described by areas of substantial hardness and slightly outbulging in breast fillets. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of wooden breast defect

Wooden breast – a novel myopathy recognized in broiler chickens [PDF]

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2019
Abstract Abnormally hard breast fillet consistency began to emerge in commercial broiler chickens around 2010. Due to the remarkable muscle hardness, the condition acquired the vernacular name ‘wooden breast myopathy’. This myopathy starts to develop after two weeks of age at the earliest and typically proceeds into chronic ...

Serum Biochemical Parameters of Broilers Affected by Wooden Breast Myopathy. [PDF]

Animals (Basel)
Wooden breast (WB) myopathy is a pathology of the pectoralis major muscle. Wooden breast is caused by multiple factors. The exact etiopathogenesis of this myodegenerative pathology is still unclear. Fast-growing commercial lines of broilers that are selected for high breast muscle yields are more susceptible to this myopathy.
