Abstract excerpt
Pigs with the AMP-activated protein kinase γ3 R200Q (AMPKγ3(R200Q)) mutation generate pork with low ultimate pH (pHu). We hypothesized that reducing muscle creatine (Cr) and phosphocreatine (PCr) may accelerate postmortem ATP consumption and prevent extended pH decline in AMPKγ3(R200Q) longissimu...
