Improving litter size at birth (TNB) and the number of piglets born alive (NBA) are the main breeding goals related to litter traits, which are economically important. A better understanding of genetic architecture underlying TNB and NBA traits could increase pig production efficiency. However, most previous studies on these traits focus on additive genetic effects, while epistatic interactions underlying...
A polymorphism within exon 2 of the 2, 4-dienoyl-CoA reductase gene (DECR1) was investigated by PCR-SSCP in 228 Shanxi White pigs. An association between the DECR1 polymorphism and growth traits in Shanxi White pigs was determined with an univariate animal model. The polymorphism was found within exon 2 of the DECR1, giving rise to genotypes AA, BB or AB. This polymorphism exhibited a significant...
Kallikreins belong to a family of serine proteases that are widespread throughout living organisms, expressed in diverse tissue-specific patterns, and known to have highly diverse physiological functions. The 15 human and 24 mouse kallikreins have been implicated in pathophysiology of brain, kidney, and respiratory and reproductive systems and often are used as cancer biomarkers. To better elucidate...
The aim of this study was to investigate the nature of the non-adrenergic non-cholinergic (NANC) inhibitory transmitter of the circular muscle of the porcine ileum. For this purpose, the effects of putative NANC mediators i.e. NO, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and ATP were measured in isolated organ bath experiments (in basal conditions and after incubation with neostigmine 3 10 ...
