Measurement of intramuscular fat by muscle echo intensity [PDF]
Muscle and Nerve, 2015 ABSTRACTIntroduction: The aim of this study was to compare ultrasound echo intensity (EI) with high‐resolution T1‐weighted MRI and to establish calibration equations to estimate percent intramuscular fat from EI. Methods: Thirty‐one participants underwent both ultrasound and MRI testing of 4 muscles: rectus femoris (RF); biceps femoris (BF); tibialis ...

Screening of Key Pathways and Key Genes for the Differential Regulation of Subcutaneous and Intramuscular Fat Deposition by FTO in Chickens [PDF]
CellsThe fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) has been shown to play a critical role in fat deposition in both humans and livestock. However, its involvement in subcutaneous and intramuscular fat deposition in chickens remains underexplored.

Comparative transcriptome analysis of Qinchuan and Wagyu cattle reveals lnc11599 as a negative regulator of intramuscular fat deposition [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is a critical factor determining beef quality, influenced by various factors including breed and age. However, the regulatory role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in IMF deposition remains unclear.

Differential regulation of intramuscular fat and abdominal fat deposition in chickens [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2022 Abstract Background Chicken intramuscular fat (IMF) content is closely related to meat quality and performance, such as tenderness and flavor. Abdominal fat (AF) in chickens is one of the main waste products at slaughter. Excessive AF reduces feed efficiency and carcass quality.
