| Research Abstract |
In this experiment, we studied on the expression of angiogenic growth factor gene in adipose tissue of beef cattle. Intermuscular, renal, and mesenteric adipose tissues expressed significantly higher angiogenic growth factor mRNA levels than did subcutaneous and intramuscular adipose tissues. A significant correlation existed between adipocyte size and angiogenic growth factor mRNA levels. In addition, the expression of the angiogenic growth factor genes and adipocyte size in the high-roughage feeding group was significantly higher than in the high-concentrate feeding group. These results indicate that fat depot-specific difference in angiogenic growth factor gene expression result from the difference in adipocyte size.
