One of the main physiological processes occurring during the pre-election period is the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. Glycogen stores are depleted as embryos hatch. The lack of glycogen causes the embryo to mobilize more muscle protein for gluconeogenesis, thereby slowing down early growth and development until glycogen stores begin to replenish when the newly hatched chick does not get full access to feed
Journal of Medical Genetics and Clinical Biology is a peer-reviewed forum for advances at the intersection of human genetics and clinical medicine. The journal welcomes original research, reviews, brief reports, and case reports that translate genomic discoveries into clinical utility—spanning ...
