The quality and value of the carcass in domestic meat animals are reflected in its protein and
fat content. Preadipocytes and adipocytes are important in establishing the overall fatness of …

A comprehensive review of the impact of tropical pasture grazing, nutritional
supplementation during feedlot finishing and fat metabolism-related genes on beef cattle …

Dairy cows mobilise body tissues to support milk production and, because glucose supplies
are limited, lipids are used preferentially for energy production. Lipogenic activity is switched …

Background The muscle fiber number and fiber composition of muscle is largely determined
during prenatal development. In order to discover genes that are involved in determining …

Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is related to insulin resistance, which is an important
prediction factor for disorders, such as cardiovascular disease, obesity and type 2 diabetes …

Previous studies have indicated that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the
diacylglycerol-O-acyltransferase1 (DGAT1), thyroglobulin (TG) and adipose fatty acid …

Adipocytes mainly function as energy storage and endocrine cells. Adipose tissues showed
the biological and genetic difference based on their depots. The difference of adipocytes …

Background Fatty acid composition has become an important trait in the beef industry in
terms of beef flavor and decreasing the circulating concentration of LDL cholesterol. In this …

The advent of high-throughput DNA sequencing techniques, array technology and protein
analysis has increased the efficiency of research in bovine muscle physiology, with the …

Increasing productivity is one of the main objectives in animal production. Traditional
breeding methods have led to increased gains in some traits but gains are not easily …
