Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, a new immunobiotic assay system for regulation of fat accumulation in adipocytes was successfully developed by using porcine intramuscular preadipocyte (PIP) line based on the innate immune features. The utility of the assay system has been expected for the selection of certain immunobiotic candidate double exerting both anti-obesity in human and improvement of meat production in livestock.
