Analysis of lncRNAs Expression Profiles in Hair Follicle of Hu Sheep Lambskin [PDF]

Animals, 2020
Lambskin of the Hu sheep exhibits high economic value due to its water-wave pattern. Wool curvature is the key factor of the pattern types and quality of lambskin, and it is formed by the interaction between dermal papilla cells and hair matrix cells in the hair follicle, which is regulated by various genes and signaling pathways.

Comparison of Five Protocols of Estrous Synchronization on Reproductive Performance of Hu Sheep

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
The purpose of this study is to compare five protocols of estrous synchronization for Hu ewes to obtain the most effective and economical protocol, to apply the advantageous scheme in large-scale sheep farming. Healthy multiparous Hu ewes (n = 150) were randomly divided into five groups, and all ewes were administered fluorogestone acetate (FGA, 45 mg)

BMP7 Functions to Regulate Proliferation of Dermal Papilla Cells in Hu Sheep [PDF]

Genes, 2022
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are the structurally similar and highly conserved type of functional proteins that play an important role in hair follicle growth and development. BMP7 was a differentially expressed gene in different patterns of Hu sheep lambskin identified using Agilent microarray.

Efficient and Specific Generation of MSTN-Edited Hu Sheep Using C-CRISPR

, 2023
Hu sheep, an indigenous breed in China known for its high fecundity, are being studied to improve their growth and carcass traits. MSTN is a negative regulator of muscle development, and its inactivation results in muscularity.

Analysis of liver miRNA in Hu sheep with different residual feed intake

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Feed efficiency (FE), an important economic trait in sheep production, is indirectly assessed by residual feed intake (RFI). However, RFI in sheep is varied, and the molecular processes that regulate RFI are unclear. It is thus vital to investigate the molecular mechanism of RFI to developing a feed-efficient sheep.

Study on Origin and Phylogeny Status of Hu Sheep

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2003
Applying simple random sampling in typical colony methods in the central area of habitat, 14 structural loci and 31 alleles in blood enzyme and other protein variations of Hu sheep population are examined. After collecting the same data of 11 loci about the 22 sheep colonies in China and other countries, it clusters the 23 sheep populations by fuzzy ...

Preservative Effects of Curcumin on Semen of Hu Sheep

Animals
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important factors that lead to a decline in sperm quality during semen preservation. Excessive ROS accumulation disrupts the balance of the antioxidant system in sperm and causes lipid oxidative damage, destroying its structure and function.

Chromatin accessibility and transcriptomic profiles of sheep pituitary function associated with fecundity

BMC Genomics
Background The pituitary gland, a central regulator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, plays a pivotal role in reproductive efficiency by precisely controlling the secretion of gonadotropins, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH ...
