Abstract
1. 1. Plasma total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), phospholipid (PL), and their fatty acid compositions were compared among hereditary nonlaying hens, layers and roosters fed a basal low-fat, cholesterol-free diet. 2. 2. At pubescence, hens which failed to lay eggs developed an extreme endogenous hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia. 3. 3. Layers developed a mild hyperlipidemia at the onset of laying, which returned to an almost normolipidemic level with continuous egg production; hyperlipidemia persisted. 4. 4. Present findings demonstrate that restricted ovulation in nonlayers is accompanied by severe derangement in blood lipid metabolism.
