Nutrient supply affects the mRNA expression profile of the porcine skeletal muscle

Abstract Background The genetic basis of muscle fat deposition in pigs is not well known. So far, we have only identified a limited number of genes involved in the absorption, transport, storage and catabolism of lipids. Such information is crucial to interpret, from a biological perspective, the re...
