Table 7 Association (correlation coefficients) between expressions of the genes Fads1, Fads2, Fads9, HMGCoA reductase, Acox, Cpt1, Sod, Gpx4 and fat percent of breast muscle and final body weight (Final b.w.) from chickens (n = 16) supplemented with low selenium (Se) and without linseed (LO) in the feed, fatty acid indices and fatty acids

From: N-3 fatty acid intake altered fat content and fatty acid distribution in chicken breast muscle, but did not influence mRNA expression of lipid-related enzymes
