Abstract excerpt

The rate of protein synthesis in the skin and muscle of sheep that have been genetically selected for high wool staple strength (SS) is less dependent on the level of dietary intake than that of low SS sheep. This study examined potential hormonal mediators of this difference in responsiveness. Sheep from SS+ and SS- genotypes were fed at 0.4, 1.1 or 1.8 times maintenance. Circulating concentrations of metabolic...
