Article Synopsis
- - The study explores how the mTOR pathway affects nutrient transport in the placenta, particularly focusing on the role of methionine as a dietary supplement for pregnant beef heifers and its impact on fetal growth and nutrient transfer.
- - Forty pregnant Angus heifers were divided into two groups, one receiving a standard diet and the other receiving additional methionine, with tissue samples analyzed at parturition to assess mTOR signaling and nutrient transporters.
- - Results showed that methionine supplementation led to increased plasma methionine and glutamate levels, with a significant interaction demonstrating that male calves from supplemented heifers had increased birth weights, while no effect was observed on female calves.
