Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and the use of balanced diets with essential amino acids increases animal performance favored by the increased expression of specific genes. The experiment was conducted in Advanced Laboratory of Poultry of Department Animal Science of the Federal University of Sergipe. Two hundred and fifty two male broilers chickens were used up to 42 days old. For the first seven days of age the birds were reared in broiler house with floor covered with wood shavings. After this age, the birds were distributed in metabolism cages in randomized design with four treatments and seven replicates of nine birds per cage. The treatments consisted of diets with containing four levels of lysine, 1.016; 1.099; 1.182 and 1.265 % for the period from 8 to 21 days of age and 0.923; 0.998; 1.073 and 1.148 % for the period from 22 to 42 days, being isoenergetics and isonitrogenous diets. The characteristics evaluated were: weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion; carcass yield and parts; deposition of nutrients and gene expression in the Pectoralis major muscle. Four birds per treatment were slaughtered by cervical dislocation at 21, 35 and 42 days of ages for removal of five grams of muscle tissue and amplification of the cDNA using primers specific for the target genes. Expression was analyzed using the Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR). Weight gain and feed conversion were influenced by increasing in the dietary digestible lysine. For carcass yield and parts, the breast was influenced by the increase of dietary lysine. It was found that there was an increase in protein daily gain when used 1.265 and 1.148 % digestible lysine in the different ages. For gene expression, there was no significant effect of lysine on the evaluated genes (ND1, ND2, COX I, COX II, COX III, Cyt b e ATP6). Based on the information concluded that adjusted levels of digestible lysine for phases 8 to 21 and 22 to 42 days of age provide higher performance and body protein deposition. However, increasing levels of lysine does not influence the expression of the electron transport chain genes and oxidative phosphorylation in the Pectoralis major muscle of male broilers.
