Article Synopsis
- Butyric acid plays a crucial role in digestion and muscle/fat cell development in animals, but its effects on bovine skeletal muscle satellite cells (SMSCs) are not fully understood.
- This study isolated SMSCs and tested different concentrations of sodium butyrate (NaB) to determine their effects on cell proliferation and differentiation.
- Results showed that lower NaB concentrations promoted differentiation while inhibiting proliferation, whereas higher concentrations suppressed both, with gene expression analysis revealing important pathways associated with SMSC development and metabolism.
