Characterization of porcine leptin receptor polymorphisms and their association with reproduction and production traits.

Animal biotechnology - 1 May 2004

Chen C C, Chang T, Su H Y

Abstract excerpt

Fatness in pigs is of prime economic importance due to market incentives for production of lean pork and elevated fatness increasing the feed costs. Leptin (LEP) action, mediated through its specific receptors (LEPR), was reported to be involved in the regulation of fatness via feed intake, energy expenditure, and whole-body energy balance in pigs. In this study, we have designed 17 primer sets based on the human...
