Obesity and its associated diseases are one of the major causes of death worldwide. The
gut microbiota has been identified to have essential regulatory effects on human metabolism …

Background Intramuscular fat (IMF) content and its fatty acid (FA) composition are typically
controlled by several genes, each with a small effect. In the current study, to pinpoint …

Background Selection for increasing intramuscular fat content would definitively improve the
palatability and juiciness of pig meat as well as the sensorial and organoleptic properties of …

Intramuscular fat (IMF) content and fatty acids (FA) profile determine important sensory and
technological characteristics of the meat, being interesting traits to be included in breeding …

Pigs, as one of the most common livestock species worldwide, are expected to have a fast
growth rate and lower subcutaneous fatness but higher intramuscular fat (“marbling meat”) …

The meat quality is influenced by many factors, among which intramuscular fat (IMF) is one
of the most prominent factors. IMF content is closely related to the tenderness and flavor of …

A large number of studies have highlighted the importance of gut microbiome composition in
shaping fat deposition in mammals. Several studies have also highlighted how host genome …

Intramuscular fat (IMF) content in pork is an important element of consumer preference and
is positively correlated with meat quality, including tenderness and juiciness. With advances …

One of the most important determinants of meat quality is the intramuscular fat (IMF) content.
