The Effect of Reduced Dietary Protein on Adipose Tissue in Local Krškopolje Pigs
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of low-protein (LP) diet on adipose tissue deposition in Krškopolje pigs reared either in organic outdoor (n=2x12) or conventional indoor (n=2x12) system. In the outdoor system, RNA-sequencing revealed the upregulation of 28 genes and downregulation of 37 genes. Upregulated genes were mainly involved in lipid metabolism (ACLY, FASN, ACACA, MOGAT2), oxidative stress, and mitochondrial function. In the indoor system, RNA-sequencing revealed 30 upregulated and 28 downregulated genes. Among the upregulated genes, heat shock proteins (HSP70.2, HSPA6) were detected in pigs on LP diet, while genes involved in the innate immune system (MSR1, TREM2, CSF3R) were downregulated.
