Abstract excerpt
Adipokines play a crucial role in the regulation of energy homeostasis; however, little is known about genetic alterations in this family that may contribute to economic traits in cattle. Therefore, this study conducts transcript profiles, variations and association studies of three major adipokines, leptin (LEP), tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8), to evaluate their effects on...
