Abstract excerpt
Extracellular matrix (ECM) and cell adhesion molecule (CAM) genes are involved in the regulation of skeletal muscle development; however, their roles in skeletal muscle development in pigs are still poorly understood. 65 days postcopulation (dpc) is a critical time point in pig development. Therefore, we analyzed expression of ECM and CAM genes in the longissimus dorsi muscles at 65 dpc from Landrace (lean-type:...
