Abstract excerpt
This study examined the developmental and genotype dependent expression of key myogenic (MYOD1, MYOG, PAX7), growth related (IGF1, GHR, MSTN), mitochondrial (ANT, COXIII, UCP), and antioxidant (SOD1, CAT) genes in skeletal muscles of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). Muscle samples from pectoralis major (glycolytic) and biceps femoris (oxidative) were collected at post hatch days 3 and 42 from three genotypes...
