The effect of feeding with different protein levels on internal organ weight and gene expression of MEF2A and ATF3 in crossbred local chicken using RT-PCR.

Background: Myogenic enhancer transcription factor 2A (MEF2A) is a transcription factor known for its role in controlling skeletal muscle regeneration and metabolic processes, while activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) is a stress-induced transcription factor that plays a role in modulating metabolic processes, immunity, and oncogenesis. Environmental factors, such as dietary protein, can influence gene expression levels. Insufficient protein intake can negatively affect the metabolic performance of internal organs, leading to the abnormal weight of internal organs.

Polymorphism of gene (single nucleotide polymorphisms c.73T>C) and its association with body weight and body measurements in Madura cattle.

Background And Aim: Madura cattle is local cattle in Indonesia. This cattle hasphenotypic variations in growth traits. This study aimed to identify (LEP) gene polymorphism exon 2 associated with body measurements in Madura cattle.

Transcriptome signature of liver tissue with divergent mutton odour and flavour using RNA deep sequencing.

Mutton consumption is less popular in many Asian countries including Indonesia, whose consumers often complain about the unpleasant flavour and odour of the meat. The main causes of mutton odour are the two compounds of branched chain fatty acid (BCFA): methylnonanoic (MNA), phenol, 3-methyl (MP), 4-methylnonanoic (MNA) and 4-ethyloctanoic (EOA) present in all the adipose tissue; and the 3-methylindole (MI) or skatole and indole, which are originated from pastoral diets. It is crucial to understand the genetic mechanism of mutton odour and flavour (MOF) to select sheep for lower BCFA and indole thus reduce the unpleasant flavour of meat.
