Abstract excerpt

The growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) gene controls growth hormone (GH) release by inducing a strong stimulatory effect on the endogenous ligand, ghrelin. In this study, we examined the possible role of GHSR in the growth traits of four pig breeds, namely Tibetan pigs (n=45), Diannan small-eared pigs (n=40), Yorkshire pigs (n=45), and New Huai pigs (n=122). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in...
