ACSL4 Directs Intramuscular Adipogenesis and Fatty Acid Composition in Pigs
The intramuscular fat is a major quality trait of meat, affecting sensory attributes such as flavor and texture. Several previous GWAS studies identified Acyl-CoA Synthetase Long Chain Family Member 4 (ACSL4) gene as the candidate gene to regulate ...

Towards entire male pigs in Europe: a perspective from the Spanish supply chain [PDF]
In pig production, surgical castration is primarily performed to avoid boar taint and for management purposes. The European Commission plans to end surgical piglet castration voluntarily by 2018.

Fat embolism in liposuction and intramuscular grafts in rabbits [PDF]
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of fat embolism in organs such as lung and liver. METHODS: Twenty rabbits underwent autologous intramuscular fat grafting in the right thigh after liposuction. The groups were determined according to the postoperative day that occurred in euthanasia: 60, 90 and 120 day.

Identification of microRNA Transcriptome Involved in Bovine Intramuscular Fat Deposition
BackgroundIntramuscular fat deposition in beef is a major determinant of carcass quality and value in the USA. The objective of this study was to examine changes in microRNA (miRNA) transcriptome that are involved with intramuscular fat deposition with ...

Putative Regulatory Factors Associated with Intramuscular Fat Content
Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is related to insulin resistance, which is an important prediction factor for disorders, such as cardiovascular disease, obesity and type 2 diabetes in human. At the same time, it is an economically important trait, which influences the sensorial and nutritional value of meat.
