DNA polymorphisms in SREBF1 and FASN genes affect fatty acid composition in Korean cattle (Hanwoo).(deoxyribonucleic acid, sterol regulatory element binding factor 1, fatty acid synthase)(Report)
Jun 01, 2009; ... INTRODUCTION In the beef industry, the amount and distribution of fat within muscle are directly associated with quality and value of the meat. Fatty acid composition of beef is of great interest because of its implications for human health. Saturated fatty acids (SFA) are the ...
Efficiency of Heatsynch protocol in estrous synchronization, ovulation and conception of dairy buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis).(Report)
Jun 01, 2009; ... INTRODUCTION Buffaloes play a prominent role in rural livestock production in Asia and India in particular. Silent estrus is perhaps the most important factor leading to poor reproductive efficiency in buffaloes (Kanai and Shimizu, 1983; Prakash et al., 2002; Madan and Prakash, ...
The expression patterns of Cdc25A, Cdc25B, Sox2 and Mnb in central nervous system in early chicken embryos.(cell division cycle, sex determining region Y-box 2, minibrain)(Report)
Jun 01, 2009; ... INTRODUCTION Cell division cycle (Cdc) genes are required for regulation of cell proliferation. However, others factors are necessary for cell differentiation events. To understand the mechanisms that underlie this regulated process, greater knowledge of the molecular control of ...
Synergistic effect of dexamethasone and prolactin on VEGF expression in bovine mammary epithelial cells via p44/p42 MAP kinase.(vascular endothelial growth factor, mitogen-activated protein kinase)(Report)
Jun 01, 2009; ... INTRODUCTION The lactating mammary gland requires an adequate supply of nutrients and hormonal stimuli via the circulation system to sustain milk synthesis. Mammary blood flow in cows and goats controls milk secretion (Davis and Collier, 1985). Angiogenesis, the formation of ...
The effects of docking on growth traits, carcass characteristics and blood biochemical parameters of Sanjabi fat-tailed lambs.(Report)
Jun 01, 2009; ... INTRODUCTION Fat-tail removal (docking) of lambs is an important management practice in commercial sheep production (Snyman et al., 2002; Cloete et al., 2004). The results of many investigations have shown that docking decreases metabolizable energy (ME) requirement due to lower ...
