Genetic correlations among carcass cross-sectional fat area ratios, production traits, intramuscular fat, and serum leptin concentration in Duroc pigs.
Animals accumulate fat in tissues as subcutaneous, intermuscular, intramuscular, and abdominal fat. Genetic interrelationships of respective fat depositions, however, have not been examined in depth. This study estimated genetic parameters for subcutaneous, intermuscular, and abdominal fat areas of 545 Duroc purebred pigs slaughtered at 105 kg of BW. Measurements were obtained using an image an...
متن کاملSerum- and HDL3-serum amyloid A and HDL3-LCAT activity are influenced by increased CVD-burden.
BACKGROUND High density lipoproteins (HDL) protect against cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, increased serum amyloid-A (SAA) related inflammation may negate this property. This study investigated if SAA was related to CVD-burden. METHODS Subjects referred to the rapid chest pain clinic (n = 240) had atherosclerotic burden assessed by cardiac computerised tomography angiography. Subjects ...
متن کاملCirculating leptin and ghrelin are differentially influenced by estrogen/progestin therapy and raloxifene.
BACKGROUND Leptin and ghrelin are increasingly being recognized as cardiotropic hormones, promoting or inhibiting the atherosclerotic process, respectively. Apoptosis may be one pathway through which the actions of these hormones are mediated. Sex hormones are reported to influence the secretion and action of ghrelin and leptin. OBJECTIVE To evaluate (1) the association of circulating ghrelin...
متن کاملRelationship of serum leptin to total and truncal body fat.
1. In this study we investigated the relationship between serum leptin levels and body fat distribution in a random sample of women of widely ranging age and body mass index. Anthropometry and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry were used to measure body fat and its distribution. 2. Leptin levels (log transformed) were not significantly correlated with age, but were significantly positively correl...
متن کاملBovine serum lipids. II. Lipoprotein quantitative and qualitative composition as influenced by added animal fat diets.
S ERUM lipoproteins have been studied in some detail in relation to certain disease conditions and metabolic disorders of man. However, very limited research has been conducted on the lipoproteins of ruminant animals. Current research in ruminant nutrition and metabolism has focused more attention on lipid utilization and its interactions with proteins in the serum. Researchers (Evans, Patton a...
