The effect of dietary copper on the composition of adipose tissue triglycerides in the broiler chickenFootnote¹

Abbreviations used in this paper: triglycerides are defined by three numerals, to represent the three fatty acids esterified to glycerol, o represents a saturated fatty acid, 1 a monounsaturated fatty acid and 2 a diunsaturated fatty acid.
