Intramuscular fat (IMF) content plays a key role in various quality traits of meat. IMF content
varies between species, between breeds and between muscle types in the same breed …

Human aging is associated with a progressive loss of muscle mass and strength and a
concomitant fat accumulation in form of inter-muscular adipose tissue, causing skeletal …

Results: Macrophage and T-cell markers were upregulated in SM of obese compared with
lean humans. SM of obese mice had higher expression of inflammatory cytokines, with …

Proteins that coat the lipid droplets (also known as PAT proteins or perilipin (PLIN) family
proteins) have diverse functions that are not well elucidated in many tissues. In skeletal …

The content and distribution of body lipids are of special interest for production efficiency
and meat quality in the farm animal industry. Triglycerides represent the most variable …

Skeletal muscle plays important roles in normal biological activities and whole-body energy
homeostasis in humans. The growth and development of skeletal muscle also directly …

Background Intramuscular fat (IMF) and intramuscular connective tissue (IMC) are often
seen in human myopathies and are central to beef quality. The mechanisms regulating their …

The objective of this study was to identify the proteins involved in bovine intramuscular fat
(IMF) development. Global proteins were monitored in bovine skeletal muscle at muscle …

Insulin resistance is closely related to intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) accumulation, and both
are associated with increasing age. It remains to be determined to what extent perturbations …

An increase in intramuscular adipocyte tissue (IMAT) is associated with glucose
dysregulation, decreased muscle strength, and increased risk of disability. Unfortunately, the …
