Selective breeding and improved nutritional management over the past 20–30 years has resulted in dramatic improvements in growth efficiency for pigs and poultry, particularly lean tissue growth. However, this has been achieved using high-quality feed... Read More about Improving efficiency in meat production.

Thyroid hormone and vitamin D regulate VGF expression and promoter activity (2016)
Journal Article
Lewis, J. E., Brameld, J. M., Hill, P., Wilson, D., Barrett, P., Ebling, F. J., & Jethwa, P. H. (2016). Thyroid hormone and vitamin D regulate VGF expression and promoter activity. Journal of Molecular Endocrinology, 56(2), 123-134. https://doi.org/10.1530/JME-15-0224

The Siberian hamster (Phodopus sungorus) survives winter by decreasing food intake and catabolizing abdominal fat reserves, resulting in a sustained, profound loss of body weight. Hypothalamic tanycytes are pivotal for this process. In these cells, s... Read More about Thyroid hormone and vitamin D regulate VGF expression and promoter activity.
