Proposed biochemical mechanism of IMF deposition in chicken meat. This pathway is involved in the biosynthesis of fatty acids (FAs) and triglyceride (TG) in turn. Prevalent accumulation of LCFAs (C16:0, C16:1, C18:1n9c, and C18:2n6c), and inhibitions of MCFAs and VLCFAs would jointly result in the increase of TGs with the FA biosynthesis and cellular uptake ways, and then accelerate the deposition of IMF in chicken meat
