Transcriptome assisted label free proteomics of hepatic tissue in response to both dietary restriction and compensatory growth in cattle.

Compensatory growth (CG) is a naturally occurring phenomenon where, following a period of under nutrition, an animal exhibits accelerated growth upon re-alimentation. The objective was to identify and quantify hepatic proteins involved in the regulation of CG in cattle. Forty Holstein Friesian bulls were equally assigned to one of four groups.

Label-free quantitative proteomic analysis of M. longissimus dorsi from cattle during dietary restriction and subsequent compensatory growth.

Compensatory growth (CG) is a naturally occurring physiological process whereby an animal has the ability to undergo enhanced growth following a period of restricted feeding. This studies objective was to identify key proteins involved in the expression of CG. Forty Holstein Friesian bulls were equally assigned to one of four groups.
