Identification of the decisive ingredients of IMF in chicken meat. A Contents of TG, PLIP and TCHO in the selected line and the control line, respectively. The tissue sample (B). Comparison of TG, PLIP and TCHO contents between the selected line and the control line. C Correlation analysis between IMF, TG, PLIP and TCHO. IMF content had a higher positive correlation with the TG content (P < 0.01), and a relatively weak positive correlation with the PLIP content (P < 0.05). D Contents of TG (mmol/g), PLIP (mmol/L) and TCHO (mmol/gprot) in myocytes or adipocytes derived from the pectoral muscle tissue with the same cell number. Data are expressed as the mean ± standard error of mean (SEM); n = 520 individual (in vivo) or 3 (in vitro)
