Abstract excerpt
This study examines the impact of altitude on skeletal muscle adaptation in Tibetan sheep and the associated molecular mechanisms. A total of fifteen Tibetan sheep were used, with five each at low (L), middle (M), and high (H) altitude. Myofibril diameter, intramuscular fat (IMF) content, and mRNA and lncRNA expression profiles in the biceps femoris were analyzed. Based on this, a competitive endogenous RNA...
