| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this experiment, we studied on the effects of adipose tissue remodeling on bovine adipogenesis. We showed that the telomere length of subcutaneous adipose tissue of fattening Japanese black steers were shorter than that of visceral adipose tissue. Macrophage infiltration was increased in visceral adipose tissue of fattening Japanese black steers, although there were few macrophages in subcutaneous adipose tissue. We also showed that the expression of adiponectin gene in visceral adipose tissue of Holstein steers was higher than that of Japanese black steers. These results indicate that adipose tissue remodeling is a key factor in regulating bovine adipogenesis.
