Skeletal muscles, accounting for 40% of mammalian body mass, exhibit pronounced heterogeneity due to distinct anatomical locations. Animal husbandry excessively focuses on longissimus dorsi (LDM) development, while neglecting other muscles. In this study, we integrated Bulk RNA Sequencing (bulk R...
Abstract

The gut microbiota is a key regulator of host lipid metabolism. In indigenous pigs, variation in growth performance and intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition has been linked to microbiota-host interactions, yet the specific taxa and metabolites that govern host lipid ...
This study investigated the effects of dietary 0.10% chlorogenic acid supplementation on the meat quality and metabolic profile of Shaziling pigs. Longissimus dorsi muscle samples were collected and analyzed using untargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) in both positive and neg...
