Dietary methionine level alters growth, digestibility, and gene expression of amino acid transporters in meat-type chickens

ABSTRACT: Imbalance in nutrients can affect digestibility of amino acids by altering gene expression of amino acid transporters. We investigated digestibility and molecular transporters of essential amino acids in chickens fed a methionine-deficient diet. A total of 40 chicks (23 D old) were randoml...
