Project description:Comparison of gene expression profile of muscle samples stored under vacuum at +4°C up to 14 days from growth promoters-treated and control cows.
Project description:The liver of dairy cows naturally displays a series of metabolic adaptation during the periparturient period in response to the increasing nutrient requirement of lactation. The hepatic adaptation is partly regulated by insulin resistance and it is affected by the prepartal energy intake level of cows. We aimed to investigate the metabolic changes in the liver of dairy cows during the periparturient at gene expression level and to study the effect of prepartal energy level on the metabolic adaptation at gene expression level.B13:N13
Project description:A bovine oligo microarray platform (GPL7053) was used to evidence differences in gene expression profiles from thirty (30) muscle samples from growth promoters-treated cows and ten (10) from control animals.
