Transcriptome analysis of adipose tissues from two fat-tailed sheep breeds reveals key genes involved in fat deposition

conjugated linoleic acids, amino acid profile and other characteristics of meat produced under identical condition from two iranian fat tailed breeds of lamb

گوشت قرمز یکی از مهم ترین فرآورده های دامی در تأمین پروتئین و انرژی می باشد که در حمل ویتامین های محلول در چربی نیز حائز اهمیت می باشد. انسان مانند سایر مهره داران اسید های چرب ضروری (لینولئیک و آلفا لینولنیک) مورد نیاز خود از طریق غذا تأمین می نماید. اسید های چرب ضروی پیش ساز اسید های چرب غیر اشباع با چند پیوند دوگانه هستند. اسید لینولنیک پیش ساز اسیدهای چرب امگا 3 و اسید لینولئیک نیز پیش ساز ...

Reference Gene Selection in Adipose and Muscle Tissues of Fat-tailed Lori-Bakhtiari Lambs

BACKGROUND: Fat-tailed sheep breeds have a  unique  ability  to  tolerate  periods  of  negative  energy  balance  due to seasonal changes in feed availability. This ability is attributed to presence  of  fat-tail  as  a  body  energy  reserve, however the exact underlying  mechanisms  controlling  the  response  of adipose  tissue  depots  to variations in energy balance in fat-tailed breeds a...

Pharmacokinetics of tetracycline hydrochloride in fat-tailed sheep

Tetracycline may be used to treat several types of bacterial diseases in ruminants. In addition, tetracycline is added to food to promote the growth. There are few reports on the pharmacokinetics of tetracycline in sheep. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the pharmacokinetic characteristics of the drug in sheep. Ten apparently healthy mixed-breed sheep were administered 20 m...

Screening for Causative Mutations of Major Prolificacy Genes in Iranian Fat-Tailed Sheep

Objective The presence of different missense mutations in sheep breeds have shown that the bone morphogenetic protein receptor 1B (BMPR1B), bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) and growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) genes play a vital role in ovulation rate and prolificacy in ewes. Therefore, the present study investigates BMPR1B, BMP15 and GDF9 genes mutations in prolific ewes of Iranian ...
