Change in adipose tissue characteristics and lipid metabolism in natural grazing Mongolian cattle with age.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to elucidate the lipid composition, characteristics, and metabolic mechanisms of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) in natural grazing Mongolian cattle during its development.

Methods

The experimental animals consisted of castrated Mongolian cattle, divided into two groups: 10 months old (10 M, n = 12, average weight: 113.26±0.87 kg) and 34 months old (34 M, n = 12, average weight: 390.44±1.23 kg). All animals were selected from the same herd in the Eren Nur grasslands, Xilingol, Inner Mongolia, China. Browning-related genes in SAT were determined using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction with 3 replicates for each cattle, and six animals from each group were randomly selected for non-targeted lipidomic techniques to analyze
