Abstract excerpt
Somatostatin (SST) and its receptors (SSTR1-5) appear to be important in central regulation of many metabolic systems that affect growth, adiposity and nutrient absorption. In this study, we investigated polymorphisms within the caprine SST and SSTR1 genes and determined their relationship with growth traits. As there were no sequence information of the caprine SST and SSTR1 genes, we explored their DNA sequence...
