Abstract excerpt
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PPARGC1A) is a candidate gene for lean meat production because it plays a key role in lipid metabolism. In this study, SNPs within the porcine PPARGC1A gene were investigated using PCR-sequencing and PCR-RFLP. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot were then used to analyze mRNA and protein expression in longissimus dorsi muscle (LM),...
