Chronic heat stress significantly increased fat synthesis and resulted in excess lipid deposition in the liver of broilers. Dietary taurine supplementation can effectively decrease fat synthesis by suppressing the LXRα pathway and alleviate lipid accumulation in the liver of chronic heat-stressed broilers. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.
