Figure 3From: The goose genome sequence leads to insights into the evolution of waterfowl and susceptibility to fatty liverGlucose and lipid metabolic pathways in goose liver. The diagram shown is based on established KEGG pathways and hepatic lipid-metabolism findings from previous studies. The solid lines represent single-step reactions, whereas the dotted lines indicate multi-step reactions. Red and green italic letters represent increased and decreased liver gene expression levels, respectively, when comparing a goose overfed a carbohydrate-rich diet vs. the control group fed a normal diet. Gene symbols: acc, acetyl-Coenzyme A carboxylase; acly, ATP citrate lyase; apoB, apolipoprotein B; cs, citrate synthase; dgat2, diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2; elovl6, elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 6; fads1, fatty acid desaturase 1; fads2, fatty acid desaturase 2; fasn, fatty acid synthase; gpi, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase; hk1, hexokinase 1; lep, leptin; lpl, lipoprotein lipase; pdh, pyruvate dehydrogenase; pfkm, phosphofructokinase; scd, stearoyl-CoA desaturase; fatp, fatty acid transporter protein; pksG, hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase.Back to article page
