Abstract excerpt
Several adipocytokines are involved in inflammatory and immune responses as well as regulated fat deposition and lipid metabolism in mammals. This study aimed to verify the polymorphisms of the porcine interleukin 1A (IL-1A) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) genes and to assess their association with intramuscular fat (IMF) content and fatty acid (FA) composition in commercial crossbred pigs. Two single nucleotide...
