Background Besides having an impact on human health, the porcine muscle fatty acid
profile determines meat quality and taste. The RNA-Seq technologies allowed us to explore …

Intramuscular fat content (IMF) is a complex trait influencing the technological and sensorial
features of meat products and determining pork quality. Thus, we aimed at analyzing …

Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is a meat quality trait of major economic importance in animal
production. Emerging evidence has demonstrated that meat quality can be improved by …

Simple Summary The amount and fatty acid composition of intramuscular fat are important
features for the qualitative characteristics of processed and fresh meat products, but the …

This study provides a thorough comparison of the plasma metabolome of two rabbit lines
divergently selected for intramuscular fat content (IMF). The divergent selection led to a …

Background Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is positively correlated with aspects of pork
palatability, including flavour, juiciness and overall acceptability. The ratio of energy to …

Intramuscular fat (IMF) content and composition are relevant for the meat industry due to
their effect on human health and meat organoleptic properties. A divergent selection …

The source of commercial research animals can influence biomedical research findings,
despite controlled experimental conditions. Metabolism is intricately influenced by diet, host …

Gut microbiome and heredity are two important factors affecting the intramuscular fat (IMF) of
cattle, excluding age, sex, and nutrition. This study aimed at deciphering these two …

Several studies have highlighted the relevance of gut microbiome composition in shaping fat
deposition in mammals. In contrast, other studies have highlighted how the host genome …
