Background Intramuscular fat (IMF) content plays a key role in meat quality of pork. Duroc is
a common commercial pig breed, which is extensively used as the terminal male parent of …

The majority of cohort-specific studies associating gut microbiota with obesity are often
contradictory; thus, the replicability of the signature remains questionable. Moreover, the …

The widespread use of genome-wide association studies resulted in the discovery of
genomic regions associated with fatty acid (FA) composition in different porcine tissues, but …

Recent studies indicate that microbial enterotypes may influence the beneficial effects of
wholegrain enriched diets including bodyweight regulation. In a 4-week intervention trial …

Simple Summary The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between fecal
microbiota and the backfat thickness of pigs by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Our study found …

Simple Summary Iberian pigs are meat quality models due to their high fat content, high
intramuscular fat, and oleic fatty acid composition. These parameters present great …

A high intake of dietary saturated fatty acids (SFAs) is related to an increased risk of obesity,
inflammation and cancer-related diseases, and this risk is attenuated only when SFAs are …

The amount and composition of intramuscular fat (IMF) influence the sensory characteristics,
nutritional value of beef and human health. The amount of fatty acid and its composition in …

Background Metabolic inflammation mediated obesity requires bacterial molecules to trigger
immune and adipose cells leading to inflammation and adipose depot development. In …
