Abstract excerpt
Glutathione peroxidase 8(GPX8) is a key member of the glutathione peroxidase family. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have indicated that GPX8 is highly associated with growth and carcass traits of pigs. Using porcine skeletal muscle satellite cells, this study explored the effects of GPX8 on myogenic differentiation and myofiber type switching through GPX8 knockdown and overexpression, combined with...
