Apoptosis during the development of the hepatic steatosis in force-fed ducks and cooking yield implications.

摘要: Mule ducks were force-fed for 12 d to determine whether or not signs of apoptosis could occur during the development hepatic steatosis induced by huge quantities corn ingested twice daily birds. Presence in hepatocytes was assessed through measurements increased activities capsase-3 +-7, -8, and -9. From 0 force-feeding period until 8, different caspases remained at a low level. On contrary, 10 12, all measured dramatically increased, indicating that occurred this stage, which corresponds time accumulation large lipids cells.The melting level liver issued from ("foie gras") cooking is point interest processors because it degrade quality delicate dish. In study, we used levels improve predictability foie gras cooking, addition other parameters usually used, such as its weight lipid content. improvement, suggest part variability fatty livers reside more less intense activity proteases.
