Four sulfoanmides ; sulfamerazine ; sulfamethazine, sulfathiazole and sulfadimethoxine from muscle, kindney, liver and heart tissues of pork and chicken by LC. Residual sulfonamides were extracted with dichloromethane and determined on a Sperisorb ODS-1 column(250mm$\times$4.6mm id) with acetonitrile/water/acetic acid (30/70/0.3 v/v) as a mobile phase at 260nm. Recoveries from 4 tissues of pork and chicken samples fortified with 50 and 100 ppb were 71.2~87.2% and 73.7~89.6%, respectively. The detection limit was 0.03 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g in each drug. Sulfamethazine in 5 samples of pork. And sulfadimethoxine in 5 samples and sulfamethazine in 3 samples were also detected from 41 samples of chicken. The order of residue levels of sulfonamides in tissues was kidney>liver>heart>muscle, respectively. The residue levels of sulfonamides from kidney and liver were 0.03~0.15 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g in porks and 0.03~0.10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g in chickens.

To investigate the differences in the quality characteristics between commercial Korean native chicken (KNC) and broiler (CB), nutritive and quality parameters of the two chicken species were determined. The KNC thigh muscle had a lower content of crude fat and higher crude ash than the CB thigh. In regards to the fatty acid composition, KNC breast muscle had a higher content of arachidonic acid (C20:4) than CB. The level of inosine was higher in the CB thigh muscle than KNC but there was little difference in other nucleotide compounds. The KNC breast had higher amounts of glycine, alanine, and proline than CB, which are closely related to high quality meat flavor. The sensory acceptance was not significantly different between the breast and thigh of KNC and CB. However, KNC had higher cohesiveness, chewiness and gumminess than CB, which are indicative of a unique texture property. Based on these results, commercial KNC may have superior nutritional quality, taste, and unique texture when compared with CB. Thus, the consumer preference for KNC may be partially explained by these distinctive quality characteristics.

Optimization of carnosine and anserine extraction from chicken breast was performed using response surface methodology (RSM) to obtain the maximized physiological activities for anti-glycation and anti-oxidation. The optimum extraction conditions were water extraction for 1.6 h in the case of the 20-wk laying hen muscle and water extraction for 2.12 h in the case of 90-wk laying hen muscle. Higher carnosine and anserine contents were measured in the 20-wk laying hen muscle, along with higher physiological activities, which increased in direct proportion with the dipeptide contents. The extracts prepared from the 20-wk laying hen under optimum conditions showed 57% inhibition of advanced glycated end-product formation, 64% inhibition of lipid peroxidation, and 61% of DPPH radical scavenging effects. On the other hand, 52% inhibition of AGE formation, 62% inhibition of lipid peroxidation, and 53% of DPPH radical scavenging effect were demonstrated within the 90-wk laying hen. In addition, the ratio of carnosine was a key indicator for the physiological activities of the extracts.

This study was to detect the expression of heart fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) and adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP) gene mRNA in different tissues of Rugao and Luyuan chickens at 56 d and 120 d by real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase-chain reaction (FQ-RT-PCR). The primers were designed according to the sequences of HFABP, A-FABP and GAPDH genes in Gallus gallus, which were used as target genes and internal reference gene, respectively. The levels of H-FABP and A-FABP gene expression were detected by SYBR Green I FQ-RT-PCR. The relative H-FABP and A-FABP gene mRNA expression level was calculated with 2-$^{{\Delta}Ct}$. Melting curve analysis showed a single peak of three genes. Intramuscular fat (IMF) content in breast muscle and leg muscle of the two chicken breeds at 120 d was higher than at 56 d. IMF content in breast muscle and leg muscle at 56 d and 120 d in Luyuan was significantly higher than in Rugao, however, abdominal fat of Luyuan was significantly lower than that of Rugao. The relative H-FABP gene mRNA expression level in cardiac muscle was the highest in both chicken breeds. The relative H-FABP and A-FABP gene expression of different tissues in Luyuan was higher than in Rugao. H-FABP gene mRNA expression had a negative effect on IMF of leg and breast muscles, and was significantly negatively correlated with IMF content. The relative A-FABP gene mRNA level in abdominal fat was higher than in liver. The A-FABP gene mRNA was not expressed in leg, breast and cardiac muscles. A-FABP gene mRNA expression level was significantly positively correlated with abdominal fat and had a significant effect on abdominal fat but not IMF content.

A simple and rapid method has been developed and validated for simultaneous determination of each macrolides residues (spiramycin, josamycin, tilmicosin, tylosin) in chicken muscle by high-performance liquid chromatography- photo diode array (HPLC-PDA). Chicken muscle sample have been extracted with liquid-liquid extraction process; analytes was extracted by acetonitrile, and then defatted with hexane saturated by acetonitrile. The HPLC separation was performed on a Unison UK-$C_{18}$ ($150mm{\times}3.0mm$, $3{\mu}m$) with a gradient system of 0.1% trifloroacetic acid (TFA) and 0.1% trifloroacetic acid (TFA) in acetonitrile as the mobile phase. The drugs were detected at 232 nm for spiramycin and josamycin, and 287 nm for tilmicosin and tylosin. The limits of quantification (LOQs) were between 27 and $59{\mu}g/kg$; and the intra- and inter-day precision (relative standard deviation; RSD) was between 0.9-13.2 and 2.4-13.1%, respectively in chicken muscle sample. The method may has been successfully applied for multiresidue determination of four macrolides below the maximum residue limits (MRLs) established by the European Union (EU).

Moisture content of ultrasonic treated breast meat was higher than that of control, fat content of control of breast and leg meat were higher than that of ultrasonic treatment, and protein of control of breast meat was higher than that of ultrasonic treatment. Hunters L(lightness)-and a(redness)-value were not different between cooking methods, L-value of breast meat and a-value of leg meat were higher without regard to cooking method. Hunterb (yellowness)-value was not different among cooking chicken meats. Cooking yield was not different between cooking methods, pH of ultrasonic treated chicken meats were higher than that of control. Water holding capacity and salt soluble protein extractability of ultrasonic treated breast meat were greater than that of control. Water soluble protein extractability of ultrasonic treated leg meat was higher than that of control, and shear force value was not different between cooking methods. Hardness, cohesiveness and gumminess were not different between cooking methods and parts of muscle. Springiness of ultrasonic treated leg meat was greater than that of control and chewiness of breast meat was higher than that of leg meat. Aroma, texture, juiciness and overall acceptability were not different between cooking methods, taste of ultrasonic treated leg meat was higher than that of control. In addition, the sensory scores of parts of muscle were affected greater than that of cooking methods.

Microbial populations of total aerobic bacteria and coliforming bacteria, TBA, Hunter's color value, heme pigments, muscle protein solubility, cooking loss and shear force were investigated fro evaluating the shelf life of chicken legs gamma-irradiated at doses of 1, 3, 5 and 10 kGy with air-contained and vacuum-packaged methods. The initial microbial populations decreased with gamma irradiation depending upon the dose, and microorganisms in the vacuum-packaged samples were inhibited more than those in the air-contained samples. Hunter's L and a values of the surface and inside of the legs increased by gamma irradiation, showing a bright red color and the red color was maintained during the storage of both samples. The concentrations of oxymyoglobin among the heme pigments increased by gamma irradiation. Muscle protein solubility slightly increased by increasing the applied dose. There were no significant differences in the cooking loss and shear force values. In conclusion, the combination of gamma irradiation and vacuum-packaging could extend the shelf life of chilled chicken without deterioration of the quality.

In order to elucidate the physiological function of circulating IGF-I on muscle protein synthesis in the chicken under malnutritional conditions, we administrated recombinant chicken IGF-I using a osmotic mini pump to fasted young chickens and measured the rate of muscle protein synthesis and plasma metabolite. The pumps delivered IGF-I at the rate of $22{\mu}g/d\{300{\mu}g{\cdot}(kg\;body\;weight{\cdot}d)^{-1}\}$. Fractional rate of protein synthesis in the muscle was measured using a large dose injection of L-[$2,6-^3H$]phenylalanine. Constant infusion of chicken IGF-I did not affect plasma glucose level. Significant interaction between dietary treatment and IGF-I infusion was observed in plasma NEFA and total cholesterol concentrations. When chicks were fasted, IGF-I infusion decreased plasma NEFA and total cholesterol concentrations. On the other hand, IGF-I administration did not affect plasma levels of both metabolites. Fasting reduced plasma triglyceride concentration significantly. IGF-I infusion also decreased the level of plasma triglyceride. Plasma IGF-I concentration of young chickens was halved by fasting for 1 d. IGF-I infusion using an osmotic minipump for 1 d increased plasma IGF-I concentration in fasted chicks to the level of fed chicks. Fasting decreased body weight and the loss of body weight was significantly ameliorated by IGF-I infusion. There was a significant interaction between dietary treatment and IGF-I infusion in the fractional rate of breast muscle protein synthesis. There was no effect of IGF-I infusion on muscle protein synthesis in fed chicks. Muscle protein synthesis reduced by fasting was ameliorated by IGF-I infusion, but did not reach to the level of fed control. Muscle weight of fasted chicks infused with IGF-I was similar to fasted birds without IGF-I infusion, which suggests that muscle protein degradation would be increased by IGF-I infusion as well as protein synthesis in fasted chicks.

QM7 cell, a quail muscle cell line, has been used in various studies. In cell culture, it is well known that the culture medium has a significant influence on cell growth and maintenance of cell characteristics. This study aimed to adjust the culture medium to make it more suitable for QM7 muscle cells. A culture medium was prepared by adding 2% chicken serum (CS) instead of 10% tryptose phosphate broth (TPB) to the conventional culture medium. In the culture medium prepared with CS, the QM7 muscle cells changed from a pointed, thin to a broader shape. In addition, they grew and divided more rapidly in the new culture medium than in the conventional culture medium. The number of cells increased faster in the CS-containing culture medium from day two after passaging, and significantly increased from day three. The muscle cells grown in the medium containing CS maintained their undifferentiated state prior to differentiation. Myotubes formed well when the cells were maintained in CS-containing medium, resulting in a longer length and uniformity. According to the above results, it is clear that the culture of QM7 myocytes using a medium containing CS rather than TPB helps obtain better results in cell maintenance and differentiation.
