Abstract excerpt

The signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) gene plays a crucial role in leptin-mediated energy metabolism, upon which the growth and development of animals depend. Nevertheless, no studies have reported the effects of STAT3 gene polymorphisms on body weight and fatness modulation in sheep. This study aimed to illustrate STAT3 mRNA expression across tissues and various developmental stages of...
