Expression of genes involved in adipogenesis and lipid metabolism in subcutaneous adipose tissue and longissimus muscle in low-marbled Pirenaica beef cattle

Animal, 2016
The ability to accumulate intramuscular fat (IMF) is a highly variable characteristic in beef cattle. In breeds with a low tendency to accumulate IMF, this can lead to compromised meat quality because of the contribution of fat to such organoleptic ...
