Abstract excerpt
Visceral adipose tissue-derived serine protease inhibitor (vaspin) is an interesting novel adipocytokine with insulin-sensitizing effects. Some studies have suggested that vaspin could play an important role in the development of obesity and metabolic disorders. However, the tissue expression patterns in cattle and impact of vaspin gene variants on the growth traits has not been determined yet. Herein, we firstly...
