Abstract excerpt
The objectives for this experiment were to determine the effect of the callipyge phenotype on protein kinetics. We studied callipyge and normal lambs (n = 37) at 5, 8, and 11 wk of age (n = 4 to 7/ group) to determine how protein kinetics are altered by this trait. Total protein, DNA, and RNA and calpastatin activity were measured in five skeletal muscles and in the heart, kidneys, and liver, and protein...
