Density-dependent relations among saturation properties of symmetric nuclear matter and properties of hadronic stars are discussed by applying the conserving chiral nonlinear ({sigma},{pi},{omega}) mean-field theory. The chiral nonlinear ({sigma},{pi},{omega}) mean-field theory is an extension of the conserving nonlinear (nonchiral){sigma}-{omega} mean-field theory, which is thermodynamically consistent, relativistic and Lorentz-covariant. In the extended chiral ({sigma},{pi},{omega}) mean-field model, all the masses of hadrons are produced by the spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking, which is different from conventional chiral partner models. By comparing both nonchiral and chiral mean-field approximations, the effects of the chiral symmetry breaking mechanism on the mass of {sigma}-meson, coefficients of nonlinear interactions and Fermi-liquid properties are investigated in nuclear matter and neutron stars.
