Abstract excerpt
Postmortem lactate accumulation in skeletal muscle is linearly associated with the extent of pH decline. Yet, pigs harboring the AMPKγ3(R200Q) mutation produce meat with similar lactate levels to that of wild-type pigs but have a lower ultimate pH. We hypothesized that lower initial lactate levels and (or) lower buffering capacity in muscle of these pigs may help explain this discrepancy. Longissimus lumborum...
