Expression of lipid metabolism genes provides new insights into intramuscular fat deposition in Laiwu pigs
1 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to measure the special expression pattern of lipid metabolism genes and investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition in Longissimus dorsi muscle of Laiwu pigs. METHODS: Thirty-six pigs (Laiwu n = 18; Duroc×Landrace×Yorkshire n = 18) were used for the measurement of the backfat thickness, marbling score, IMF content, and expression of...
