Ontogeny of factors associated with proliferation and differentiation of muscle in the ovine fetus (2005)
Journal Article

The number of muscle fibers within a muscle has been found to be of high importance for the growth potential of an animal, and this number is set during fetal development. The objective of this study was to identify the ontogeny of muscle cell differ... Read More about Ontogeny of factors associated with proliferation and differentiation of muscle in the ovine fetus.

Expression of calpastatin isoforms in muscle and functionality of multiple calpastatin promoters (2004)
Journal Article

Calpastatin is the specific endogenous inhibitor of calpain proteinase that is encoded by a single gene. Transient transfection assays in both a non-fusing skeletal muscle and non-muscle cell-line demonstrated that the putative porcine calpastatin pr...

The influence of undernutrition on skeletal muscle development (2004)
Journal Article

Nutritional and hormonal control of muscle growth and fat deposition (2003)
Journal Article

This review will consider the processes of skeletal muscle (myogenesis) and fat (adipogenesis) development and the factors involved in regulating them in a variety of species. In particular, the effects of hormones and maternal nutrition during diffe... Read More about Nutritional and hormonal control of muscle growth and fat deposition.

Maternal nutrition alters the expression of insulin-like growth factors in fetal sheep liver and skeletal muscle (2000)
Journal Article

We investigated the influence of maternal dietary restriction between days 28 and 80 of gestation followed by re-feeding to the intake of well-fed ewes up to 140 days of gestation (term is 147 days) in sheep, on expression of mRNA for insulin-like gr...

Maternal nutrient restriction during early to mid gestation alters the relationship between insulin-like growth factor I and bodyweight at term in fetal sheep (2000)
Journal Article

The present study was designed to determine whether altered placental size, as a consequence of maternal nutrient restriction in sheep between 28 and 77 days gestation, is associated with a modified relationship between fetal weight or dimensions and...

Glucose and amino acids interact with hormones to control expression of insulin-like growth factor-I and growth hormone receptor mRNA in cultured pig hepatocytes (1999)
Journal Article

Nutrients and hormones are major determinants of animal growth, but the mechanisms of how nutrients influence the growth process are still unclear. A primary pig hepatocyte culture system was used to investigate possible direct effects of glucose and...

Journal Article

Effects of growth hormone administration and dietary protein intake on insulin-like growth factor I and growth hormone receptor mRNA Expression in porcine liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue (1996)
Journal Article

The effects of growth hormone (GH) and dietary protein on expression of IGF-I and GH receptor (GHR) genes in liver, muscle, and fat of pigs were investigated. Forty-eight intact male Large White x Landrace pigs were allotted to eight treatment groups...

Expression of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and growth hormone-receptor (GHR) mRNA in liver, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue of different breeds of pig (1996)
Journal Article

The work described was carried out to study the expression of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and growth hormone-receptor (GHR) mRNA in liver, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue from three breeds of pig with varying growth characteristics.

Ontogenic study of insulin-like growth factor-1 and growth hormone receptor mRNA expression in porcine liver and skeletal muscle (1995)
Journal Article

The growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor (GH-IGF) axis is involved in the control of postnatal growth in all animals studied to date. At birth, blood levels of IGF-1 are low, although levels of GH are high. Thus a switching occurs during the pos...
