RNA-seq of adipose tissue from pigs divergent in feed efficiency reveals variations in adipose growth, extracellular matrix formation, lipid metabolism and immune response


ABSTRACT: Feed efficiency (FE) is an indicator of efficiency in converting energy, attained from macronutrient ingestion, into tissue. Adipose tissue, besides being a master regulator of systemic lipid storage, is also an active endocrine organ that communicates with skeletal muscle, liver and brain to influence appetite, lipid & glucose metabolism and energy homeostasis. Adipose tissue is hypothesised to play a vital part in regulation of FE. The objective of the present study was to sequence the subcutaneous adipose tissue transcriptome in FE-divergent pigs (n=16) and identify relevant biological processes underpinning observed differences in FE.
