Fatty acids (FAs) of milk fat are considered to be important nutritional components of the
diets of a significant portion of the human population and substantially affect human health …

There is increasing evidence to indicate that nutrition is an important factor involved in the
onset and development of several chronic human diseases including cancer, cardiovascular …

The goal this review is to clarify the effects of the fat mass and obesity-associated protein
(FTO) in lipid metabolism regulation and related underlying mechanisms through the FTO …

Energy is the most limiting nutritional component in diets for high-producing dairy cows.
Palmitic (C16: 0) and stearic (C18: 0) acids have unique and specific functions in lactating …

Detecting genes associated with milk fat composition could provide valuable insights into
the complex genetic networks of genes underling variation in fatty acids synthesis and point …
