Functional microRNA screening for dietary vitamin E regulation of abdominal fat deposition in broilers. Functional microRNA screening for dietary vitamin E regulation of abdominal fat deposition in broilers

Functional microRNA (miRNA) screening for abdominal fat tissue with different dietary vitamin E (VE) levels was performed in broilers. Overall design: A total of 240 1-d-old healthy female chicks were randomly allocated into five dietary treatments with 0, 20, 50, 75 and 100 IU DL-α-tocopherol acetate. The sequencing of miRNAs of abdominal fat tissues was performed between control and 50 IU VE treatment.
