Relationship between the hepatic SULT2A1 protein expression and backfat androstenone level in pigs of three breeds (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Excessive accumulation of androstenone in pig adipose tissue contributes to the phenomenon of boar taint, an off-odour of some cooked pork. One of the reasons for high androstenone accumulation is a low rate of androstenone metabolism in pig liver. T...

Effect of dietary fatty acids on expression of lipogenic enzymes and fatty acid profile in tissues of bulls (2010)
Journal Article

This study investigated the effects of dietary linolenic acid (C18:3n-3) v. linoleic acid (C18:2n-6) on fatty acid composition and protein expression of key lipogenic enzymes, acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) and delta 6 de...

Comparison of two derivatisation methods for conjugated linoleic acid isomer analysis by Ag+-HPLC/DAD in beef fat (2010)
Journal Article

Two different procedures for the methylation of conjugated linoleic acid isomers (CLA) were compared by silver ion (Ag+)-HPLC. The base-catalysed method followed by an acid-catalysed method (NaOCH3/ BF3), and base hydrolysis followed by methylation w...

Relationship between the expression of key lipogenic enzymes, fatty acid composition, and intramuscular fat content of Limousin and Aberdeen Angus cattle (2010)
Journal Article

The amount and fatty acid composition of intramuscular fat (IMF) are major factors in determining the nutritional value of beef. Understanding the mechanisms regulating IMF formation is important for designing strategies for manipulation of IMF quant...
