Comparison between meat quality of Hanzhong White pigs and carcass weight
Authors: G.F. Wu, X.E. Shi, Y.F. Li, H.Z. Lu, C.C. Song, L. Jia and S.D. Sun
A total of 48 carcasses of crossbred Hanzhong White pigs were divided into 3 groups (I, 90-99 kg; II, 100-109 kg; III, 110- 119 kg) to investigate the influence of carcass weight on meat quality. The intramuscular fat content of the 3 groups increased from 1.90 to 4.90%; for meat color, Warner-Bratzler shear force, drip loss, and oxidation-type muscle fib.. Read More»

The incidence of colorectal cancer is growing worldwide. The characterization of compounds present in the human diet that can prevent the occurrence of colorectal tumors is vital. The oligosaccharide inulin is such a compound. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antigenotoxic, antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic effects of inulin in vivo. Our study i.. Read More»

Sheep YAP1 temporal and spatial expression trend and its relation with MyHCs expression
Authors: W. Gao, W. Sun, R. Su, X.Y. Lv, Q.Z. Wang, D. Li, H.H. Musa, L. Chen, H. Zhou, H.S. Xu and W.H. Hua
RT-PCR was used to study the temporal and spatial pattern of Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) and myosin heavy chain (MyHC) expression in four different skeletal muscles (i.e., longissimus dorsi muscle, soleus muscle, gastrocnemius muscle, and extensor digitorum longus) and three growth stages (i.e., 2 days old, 2 and 6 months ..

Effect of muscle-fiber type on glycogenin-1 gene expression and its relationship with the glycolytic potential and pH of pork
Authors: S.-H. Zhang, L. Zhu, Z.-H. Wu, Y. Zhang, G.-Q. Tang, Y.-Z. Jiang, M.-Z. Li, L. Bai and X.-W. Li
This study analyzed the effect of muscle-fiber type composition on glycogenin-1 (GYG) gene expression and its impact on pH. The longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle contains more type IIB fibers (75.10%) than does the psoas major (PM) muscle (41.58%), while the PM has more type I (3.65 vs 0.94%), type IIA (34.15 vs 10.63%), and type IIX (20.62 vs 13.33%) fibers...

Therapeutic influence of intraperitoneal injection of Wharton�s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells on oviduct function and fertility in rats with acute and chronic salpingitis
Authors: H.J. Luo,X.M. Xiao,J. Zhou and W. Wei
To study the effect of Wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJMSCs) on the rat salpingitis model, 50 female Wistar rats were randomly divided into one control and five model groups. Mixed bacteria were injected into the oviducts of model groups. The treated acute and chronic groups received intraperitoneal injections of WJMSCs (1 x 106) o.. Read More»

Agronomic characterization, genetic diversity and association analysis of cotton cultivars using simple sequence repeat molecular markers
Authors: A. Kalivas, F. Xanthopoulos, O. Kehagia and A.S. Tsaftaris
Cotton is the most important textile plant in the world and is one of the most important crops for the production of oilseed. Because of its worldwide economic importance, new cultivars are constantly being released in the world and consequently in the Greek market, as Greece is the largest producer in Europe. We used simple s.. Read More»
