<h4>Background</h4>Caponization results in reduced androgen levels, which leads to abdominal fat accumulation in capons. In this study, we sought to understand the molecular mechanisms behind this fat accumulation.<h4>Results</h4>Abdominal fat (AF) content increased significantly (P < 0.05) and serum and AF testosterone levels decreased significantly (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01) after caponization. In AF tissue, 90 differentially expressed genes related to lipid metabolism were screened by gene expres  ...[more]
