Effect of diisopropyl 1,3-dithiolan-2-ylidenemalonate on experimental fatty livers in chicks.
    Poultry science, 1984, Volume: 63, Issue:1

    The effect of diisopropyl 1,3-dithiolan-2-ylidenemalonate (NKK-100) on experimental fatty livers was investigated in chicks administered an antithyroid agent plus synthetic estrogen or in estrogenized, starved-refed chicks. NKK-100 was added at levels of 250, 500, 1000, and 1500 mg/kg diet. Liver weight was significantly decreased by administration of NKK-100 at 1500 mg/kg diet in the estrogen-administered chicks. Liver lipid content and liver lipid deposition were significantly and inversely decreased with increasing NKK-100 concentration in the diet in the estrogen administered chicks. Plasma transaminase activity, which was elevated by the estrogen administration, was reduced by the administration of NKK-100. These results suggest that NKK-100 may be of value in preventing fatty livers in poultry.

The influence of environmental temperature, thyroid status and a synthetic oestrogen on the induction of fatty livers in chicks.
    British poultry science, 1983, Volume: 24, Issue:1

    1. Hepatic lipid content, lipogenic enzyme activity and plasma lipid concentration were measured in chicks reared at 21 degrees or 34 degrees C and after thyroxine (T4), thiouracil (TU), propylthiouracil (PTU), dienestrol diacetate (DD) or PTU with DD had been given for 14 d. 2. At 34 degrees C there was a significant increase in the total liver lipid and triglyceride content. 3. Injections of T4 decreased liver lipid content whereas it was increased by feeding PTU or DD. The effects of PTU were more pronounced at 21 degrees C while those of DD were more pronounced at 34 degrees C. 4. There were significant interactions between temperature, thyroid status and synthetic oestrogen treatments on total lipid and triglyceride content of the liver. Fatty liver with marked steatosis could be produced through synergic actions of PTU and DD in chicks maintained at 21 degrees C.
