Obesity is a serious health problem worldwide associated with an increased risk of life-threatening
diseases such as type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and certain types of cancer. …

A complex and highly orchestrated gene expression program chiefly establishes the properties
that define the adipocyte phenotype, in which the vast majority of factors are involved in …

The domestic pig (Sus scrofa), an important species in animal production industry, is a right
model for studying adipogenesis and fat deposition. In order to expand the repertoire of …

Fifty‐four multiparous large white sows were used to determine the effects of supplementing
oregano essential oil (OEO) to the gestation and lactation diets on oxidative stress status, …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small ∼22 nucleotide regulatory RNAs that regulate the stability
and translation of cognate messenger RNAs (mRNAs). MicroRNAs participate in the …

Increasing evidence suggests that maternal diet during pregnancy modifies an offspring's
microbiota composition and intestinal development in a long-term manner. However, the …

Background Adipogenesis is tightly controlled by a complex network of transcription factors
acting at different stages of differentiation. Kruppel-like factors (KLFs) as a family of zinc-…

Myostatin (MSTN), also referred to as growth and differentiation factor-8, is a protein secreted
in muscle tissues. Researchers believe that its primary function is in negatively regulating …

Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) regulates adipocyte and osteoblast differentiation. However, the underlying
mechanism should be investigated. This study revealed that SIRT1 acts as a crucial …

Adipogenesis is a complex process strictly regulated by a well-established cascade that has
been thoroughly studied in the last two decades. This process is governed by complex …
