Acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT, EC 2.3. 1.20) catalyzes the last reaction in
the acyl-CoA-dependent biosynthesis of triacylglycerol (TAG). DGAT activity resides mainly …

Human milk is considered the optimal nutrition for infants as it provides additional attributes
other than nutritional support for the infant and contributes to the mother's health as well …

Background Contemporary dairy breeding goals have broadened to include, along with milk
production traits, a number of non-production-related traits in an effort to improve the overall …

Milk fatty acids are essential for many dairy product productions, while intramuscular fat
(IMF) is associated with the quality of meat. The triacylglycerols (TAGs) are the major …

Several studies have described associations between the diacylglycerol o-acyltransferase 1
(DGAT1) K232A polymorphism and routinely collected milk production traits but not much is …

Increasing milk production is one of the key concerns in animal production. Traditional
breeding has gotten limited achievement in the improvement of milk production because of …

Background Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) infection in cattle is a significant economic concern in
many countries, with annual costs to the UK and Irish governments of approximately€ 190 …

The objectives of the study were to evaluate allelic frequencies and test the association
between STAT1, OLR1, CSN1S1, CSN1S2, and DGAT1 gene polymorphisms and milk …

Several studies have shown that the diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) K232A
polymorphism has a major effect on milk production traits. It is less clear how effects of …

Abstract Diglyceride O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) is the enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis
of triglycerides from diglycerides and acyl-coenzyme A. The DGAT1 K232A polymorphism …
