AB  - Breast Muscle (BM) and Leg Muscle (LM) in Pekin duck belong 
  to different types. However, myofiber differences of BM and LMcle and relationship 
  between myofiber development with the expressions of IGF-1 and FoxO3 are not 
  clear. The difference of BM and LM fibres was investigated and relationship 
  between the two gene expressions and myofiber development was explored at D2 
  (the 2nd day), W2 (the 2nd week), W4, W6. Results showed the development of 
  BM and LM fibres were different as the Relative Growth Areas (RGAs) of BM and 
  LM fibres reached their maximum values at W4-W6 and W2-W4, respectively. The 
  expression of IGF-1 peaked while that of FoxO3 bottomed, at W6 and W2 in BM 
  and LM, respectively. The results of this study could provide basic insight 
  into the skeletal muscle development, the expressions of IGF-1 and FoxO3 and 
  the association between the two aspects.
