Abstract excerpt
Fatty acid composition of meat is becoming more important due to consumer demand for high quality and healthy foods. The present study evaluated the associations of five candidate genes (FABP4, FASN, NR1H3, GH and SCD) with fatty acid composition in Korean cattle (Hanwoo). The g.3691G > A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the FABP4 gene had significant effects on high myristic acid (C14:0; P < 0.01) and...
