Sheep IGFBP2 and IGFBP4 promoter methylation regulates gene expression and hair follicle development

Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2022
Background: Hair follicle development is important for the fineness of wool. Our previous methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing showed that IGFBP2 and IGFBP4 were differentially methylated at different development stages of the hair follicle of ...

CRABP2 Promotes the Proliferation of Dermal Papilla Cells via the Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway

Animals, 2023
In our previous study of Hu sheep hair follicles, we found that CRABP2 was highly expressed in DPCs, which suggested that CRABP2 may influence the number of DPCs.

Heat stress effects on sheep: Are hair sheep more heat resistant?

Theriogenology, 2020
Climatic variables can trigger physiological, biochemical, haematological and hormonal alterations that influence the maintenance of homeothermy and can affect production and productivity in sheep. Different mechanisms are responsible for tolerance to heat stress (HS) including coat and skin colour, body size, fat distribution, physiological reactions ...

Prediction of Carcass Traits of Hair Sheep Lambs Using Body Measurements. [PDF]

Animals (Basel), 2020
The present study was designed to evaluate the relationship between the body measurements (BMs) and carcass characteristics of hair sheep lambs. Twenty hours before slaughter, the shrunk body weight (SBW) and BMs were recorded. The BMs involved were height at withers (HW), rib depth (RD), body diagonal length (BDL), body length (BL), pelvic girdle ...
