Modulating Intramuscular Fat Infiltration by Small Molecules

The FASEB Journal, 2022
Skeletal muscle has a remarkable ability to regenerate upon injury. However, during aging and in diseases such as muscular dystrophies and diabetes, muscle tissue is replaced by fibrotic scar and fat tissue in a process called fatty fibrosis.

Intramuscular fat in children with unilateral cerebral palsy

Clinical Biomechanics, 2020
Many children with cerebral palsy develop muscle contractures. The mechanisms of contracture are not well understood. We investigated the possibility that, because fat is stiffer than passive muscle, elevated intramuscular fat contributes to contracture.

Prediction of intramuscular fat by impedance spectroscopy

Meat Science, 2006
Multiple multi-frequency impedance measurements during the computer controlled passage of a probe through the M. longissimus dorsi in pork and beef were applied. It was expected that the variability in impedance would correlate with the intramuscular fat (IMF) due to the inhomogeneous distribution of electrolytes and fat.

Principles of ultrasound and measurement of intramuscular fat

Journal of Animal Science, 1992
A review of basic engineering concepts of ultrasound is presented for the layperson with implications toward the use of ultrasound on beef animals. The use of ultrasound for determining quality traits such as percentage of intramuscular fat is discussed in detail. Results of both A-mode and B-mode preliminary investigations are presented.

Selection against abdominal fat percentage may increase intramuscular fat content in broilers

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, 2016
SummaryExcessive abdominal fat content (AFC) has negative impacts on feed efficiency and carcass quality. Unlike AFC, intramuscular fat content (IMFC) could be a favourable trait, which has a positive impact on meat quality. To meet consumers' needs, a long‐term goal of broiler breeders is to decrease AFC and improve the IMFC simultaneously.

Measuring intramuscular fat in beef with ultrasonic frequency analysis

Journal of Animal Science, 1994
Frequency analysis of Fourier spectra from ultrasonic signals was used for predicting intramuscular fat content of beef tissue. The most significant parameter in the frequency domain for predicting intramuscular fat concentration in beef was the number of local maxima.

Fatty acid composition of goat diets vs intramuscular fat

Meat Science, 2000
Twenty Boer x Spanish goats, at the age range of 90-118 days, were assigned to two dietary treatments, with 10 animals fed a grain ration (G) and the other 10 grazed in rangeland. The grain ration contained sorghum grain (67.5%), cottonseed hulls, dehydrated alfalfa meal, cottonseed meal, soybean meal, molasses, and mineral and vitamin supplements ...

Marbling, intramuscular fat and meat colour of Dutch pork

Meat Science, 1992
The amounts of intramuscular (i.m.) fat in the lean meat of the lumbar region of 21 slaughterpigs have been determined according to the Soxhlet method as a reference, and compared with those determined with the faster Foss-let procedure. These methods were highly correlated, over the lower range of fat concentrations (0·30-4·35%) studied.

Predicting pork loin intramuscular fat using computer vision system

Meat Science, 2018
The objective of this study was to investigate the ability of computer vision system to predict pork intramuscular fat percentage (IMF%). Center-cut loin samples (n = 85) were trimmed of subcutaneous fat and connective tissue. Images were acquired and pixels were segregated to estimate image IMF% and 18 image color features for each image.

Intramuscular fat levels in sheep muscle during growth

Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 2008
A 5 × 4 factorial experiment was designed in which lambs representing five genotypes were slaughtered at four ages (110, 236, 412 and 662 days of age). The genotypes represented were Poll Dorsetgrowth × Border Leicester Merino, Poll Dorsetgrowth × Merino, Poll Dorsetmuscling × Merino, Merino × Merino and Border Leicester × Merino.
