Response of adipokine expression to feed deprivation. a The effect of 24 h feed deprivation (Fast) on BW of the broiler and layer chickens was calculated as the percent of BW change of the initial BW (before feed deprivation). b The effect of the treatment on relative weight of the visceral fat. c. qPCR analysis of expression of the indicated adipokines. Vertical lines represent ± SE, n = 7 for each bird’s type and treatment, in each of the two biological repeats. Significance was calculated using students t test and denoted as *, P ≤ 0.05; **; P ≤ 0.01; ***, P ≤ 0.005. Long and short horizontal lines indicate comparison between broilers and layers both at free feeding, or between free and deprived feeding, respectively. Primers are listed in Additional file 2: Table S4
