Abstract excerpt
The hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) plays an important role in the regulation of lipolysis in adipose tissues, by catalysing a rate-limiting step in triglyceride hydrolysis. Variation within the human HSL gene (HSL) has been associated with an increased risk of obesity. In this study, variation within three regions (exon 3-4, exon 5-6 and exon 9) of ovine HSL was investigated in 538 Suffolk lambs bred from 13...
