Fresh meat quality is greatly determined through biochemical changes occurring in the
muscle during its conversion to meat. These changes are key to imparting a unique set of …

The importance of β-adrenergic signaling in the heart has been well documented, but it is
only more recently that we have begun to understand the importance of this signaling …

Skeletal muscle hypertrophy is a culmination of catabolic and anabolic processes that are
interwoven into major metabolic pathways, and as such modulation of skeletal muscle …

Background MicroRNA (miR) are a class of small RNAs that regulate gene expression by
inhibiting translation of protein encoding transcripts. To evaluate the role of miR in skeletal …

The kinetics of myosin controls the speed and power of muscle contraction. Mammalian
skeletal muscles express twelve kinetically different myosin heavy chain (MyHC) genes …

The regulation of muscle fibre transitions has mainly been studied in vivo using conventional
histological or immunohistochemical techniques. In order to investigate the molecular …

Simple Summary Skeletal muscle fibers, the smallest functional unit of skeletal muscle,
directly affect the normal growth and development of animal muscles and the quality of …

This experiment investigated the effects of zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) and the steroidal
implant Revalor-S (RS; 120 mg of trenbolone acetate and 24 mg of estradiol-17β) on …

ABSTRACT Preselected carcasses (n= 112) from feedlot steers fed zilpaterol hydrochloride
(ZH; 8.33 mg/kg, DM basis) in a serial slaughter experiment were evaluated to determine the …

We aimed to identify novel molecular mechanisms for muscle growth during administration
of anabolic agents. Growing pigs (Duroc/(Landrace/Large-White)) were administered …
