STAT3 Partly Inhibits Cell Proliferation via Direct Negative Regulation of FST Gene Expression

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Follistatin (FST) is a secretory glycoprotein and belongs to the TGF-β superfamily. Previously, we found that two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of sheep FST gene were significantly associated with wool quality traits in Chinese Merino sheep ...

Gene expression in sheep skin and wool (hair)

open access: yesGenomics, 2004
We sequenced 2939 ESTs from fetal and adult sheep skin. Stages of gestation were picked to coincide with the major events in skin appendage (wool follicle) formation. Clustering analysis generated a nonredundant set of ESTs 2435 strong (83% nonredundant).

Accumulation and Determination of Phenylethanolamine A Residue in Hair of Swine and Sheep [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Analytical Toxicology, 2016
The present study proposed the use of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to detect the novel β-agonist phenylethanolamine A (PEA) in incurred hair samples of swine and sheep and to assess its accumulation for residue monitoring. The method showed good percent recoveries ranging from 93.2% to 102% and good coefficient of variation at

EQUATIONS FOR BODY WEIGHT ADJUSTMENTS IN BLACK BELLY EWE LAMBS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Background. As body weight (BW) is rarely determined on fasted animals in most production systems, the need to develop accurate mathematical models for adjusting BW has been identified. Objective. To evaluate models for estimating shrunk body weight (SBW)
