Abstract excerpt
Adiponectin (ADIPOQ) modulates several biological processes including energy homeostasis, glucose and lipid metabolism. The bovine ADIPOQ gene was located near the QTL affecting marbling, ribeye muscle area and fat thickness on BTA1. The gene encoding peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PPARGC1A) was located within the QTL region of the traits on BTA6. Moreover, its protein product has...
