Role of miR29c in goose fatty liver is mediated by its target genes that are involved in energy homeostasis and cell growth
6 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A short period of overfeeding can lead to severe hepatic steatosis in the goose, which is physiological, suggesting that geese, as a descendent of a migrating ancestor, may have evolutionally developed a unique mechanism that operates in contrast to the mechanism underlying pathological fatty liver in humans or other mammals. In this study, we report that suppression of miR29c and upregulation of its...
