Selection of broiler chickens for growth has led to increased adipose tissue accretion. To investigate the post-hatch development of adipose tissue, the abdominal, clavicular, and subcutaneous adipose tissue depots were collected from broiler chicks at 4 and 14 days post-hatch. As a percent of body weight, abdominal fat increased (P < 0.001) with age. At day 4, clavicular and subcutaneous fat depots were heavier (P < 0.003) than abdominal fat whereas at day 14, abdominal and clavicular weighed more (P < 0.003) than subcutaneous fat. Adipocyte area and diameter were greater in clavicular and subcutaneous than abdominal fat at 4 and 14 days post-hatch (P < 0.001). Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH) activity increased (P < 0.001) in all depots from day 4 to 14, and at both ages was greatest in subcutaneous, intermediate in clavicular, and lowest in abdominal fat (P < 0.05). In clavicular fat, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR gamma), CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (CEBP)alpha, CEBP beta, fatty acid synthase (FASN), fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), neuropeptide Y (NPY), and NPY receptors (NPYR5) mRNA increased and NPYR2 mRNA decreased from day 4 to 14 (P < 0.001). Thus, there are site-specific differences in broiler chick adipose development, with larger adipocytes and greater G3PDH activity in subcutaneous fat at day 4, more rapid growth of abdominal fat, and clavicular fat intermediate for most traits. Adipose tissue expansion was accompanied by changes in gene expression of adipose-associated factors. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
