Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The nutritional quality of pork, a vital source of protein in the human diet, is being increasingly studied due to health concerns regarding pork fatty acid (FA) composition. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to identify the relationship between muscle gene expression and the composition of different FAs in pigs, focusing on the two prevalent genotypes (AA and AB) from hotspot...
