Serum neuropeptide Y (NPY) and leptin concentrations in pigs selected for components of efficient lean growth.

Domestic animal endocrinology - 1 Jan 2003

Cameron N D, McCullough E, Troup K, Penman J C

Abstract excerpt

Responses in log transformed serum neuropeptide Y (NPY) concentration and leptin concentration after six generations of divergent selection on components of efficient lean growth in pigs were measured. From an animal breeding perspective, serum NPY and/or leptin concentrations could be used as physiological predictors of genetic merit if there were significant responses to selection. At 90 kg liveweight, log...
