The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of sex and slaughter age of chickens on fatty acid composition and TBC1D1 gene expression in 4 different tissues: breast muscle, thigh muscle, abdominal fat, and subcutaneous fat. Sixty Erlang mountainous chickens (hybrid SD02 x SD03) were raised under the same conditions and slaughtered at 8, 10,.. Read More»

Evaluation of polyvinyl alcohol for fatty acid supplementation in adipose tissue explant culture
Authors: Jose AAFBV, Gama MAS, Urban A, Merighe GK, Meirelles FV, Etchegaray MAL and Lanna DPD
Cultures of adipose tissue explants are a valuable tool for studying the intracellular mechanisms involving hormones and nutrients. However, testing how fatty acids affect cells requires a carrier molecule; bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been used for this purpose. However, contaminants can alter the cellular response. Our obj..

Association analysis between carcass weight and meat quality of Bamei pigs
Authors: J.P. Zhou, G.F. Wu, A.Q. Xiang, L. Wang, S.D. Sun, C. Yang and F.F. Xu
A total of 48 crossbred Bamei pig carcasses were divided into three groups (A, 60-69 kg; B, 70-79 kg; and C, 80-90 kg) to investigate the influence of carcass weight on meat quality. The intramuscular fat content of the three groups increased from 2.20% (Group A) to 4.14% (Group C). Group B had higher drip loss (6.83%, P < 0.05) than the other two grou.. Read More»

Association of SSR markers with contents of fatty acids in olive oil and genetic diversity analysis of an olive core collection
Authors: M. Ipek, A. Ipek, M. Seker and M.K. Gul
The purpose of this research was to characterize an olive core collection using some agronomic characters and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and to determine SSR markers associated with the content of fatty acids in olive oil. SSR marker analysis demonstrated the presence of a high amount of genetic variation between the olive cultivars analyzed. A UPG.. Read More»

Association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms of fatty acid synthase gene and meat quality traits in Datong Yak (Bos grunniens).
Authors: M. Chu, X.Y. Wu, X. Guo, J. Pei, F. Jiao, H.T. Fang,C.N. Liang X.Z. Ding, P.J. Bao and P. Yan
Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is a key enzyme in fatty acid anabolism that plays an important role in the fat deposit of eukaryotic cells. Therefore, in this study, we detected 2 novel single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the FASN gene in 313 adult individuals of Datong yak using polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism and DNA ..

Effects of trans-10, cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid on gene expression and lipid metabolism of adipose tissue of growing pigs
Authors: A.A.F.B.V. Jos�©, M.A.S. Gama and D.D.P. Lanna
The objective of the present study was to determine the effects of trans-10, cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in adipose tissue explant cultures of growing pigs on the following responses: lipogenesis (measured as rate of 14C-labeled glucose incorporation over a subsequent 2-h incubation in the presence or absence of insu..

Effect of UBE3C polymorphisms on intramuscular fat content and fatty acid composition in Duroc pigs
Authors: P. Supakankul and S. Mekchay
Ubiquitin protein ligase E3C (UBE3C) is involved in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, and several ubiquitin protein ligases are important for fat deposition and lipid metabolism. The objective of this study was to analyze the association between a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the UBE3C gene with intramuscular fat (I.. Read More»

Expression of genes related to tolerance to low temperature for maize seed germination
Authors: I.C. Silva-Neta, E.V. Pinho, A.D. Veiga, R.G. P�¬nho, R.M. Guimar�£es, F. Caixeta, H.O. Santos and T.L. Marques
The aim of this study was to characterize maize lines tolerant to cold temperatures during the germination process. Seeds from lines with different levels of tolerance to low temperatures were used; 3 lines were classified as tolerant and 3 as susceptible to low germination temperatures. A field was set up to multiply seeds from selected lines. After the .. Read More»

Recent attention in pig breeding programs has focused on the improvement of pork quality in response to increasing consumer demands. Compared to the fatty-type Northeastern Indigenous (Chinese) breed of pigs, the lean-type Large White has lower intramuscular fat and inferior eating quality from the perspective of the Chinese c..

Authors: L.-L. Guan, W. Wu, B. Hu, D. Li, J.-W. Chen, K. Hou and L. Wang
Three ω-3 fatty acid desaturase genes (CtFAD3, CtFAD7, and CtFAD8) were isolated from safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.). Transcript analysis showed that the highest transcript levels were detected for CtFAD3 and the low transcript levels were detected for CtFAD7 and.. Read More»
