Abstract excerpt
High glycogen content and abnormal mitochondria have been seen in muscles from RN- carrier pigs in a previous work. Glycogen synthase, branching enzyme, phosphorylase and debranching enzyme activities, and mitochondrial characteristics were studied in normal and RN- carrier pigs. Branching enzyme activity was higher (P < 0.01) and glycogen synthase activity tended to be higher in longissimus dorsi muscle from RN-...
