Association of leptin mRNA expression with meat quality trait in Tianfu black rabbits

Leptin is a hormone synthesized and secreted primarily in adipocyte which can help to regulate energy balance. In this experiment, three tissue samples of Tianfu black rabbits at four growing periods were selected. The expression levels of leptin gene in different tissues were detected by real-time...

Description
Summary:Leptin is a hormone synthesized and secreted primarily in adipocyte which can help to regulate energy balance. In this experiment, three tissue samples of Tianfu black rabbits at four growing periods were selected. The expression levels of leptin gene in different tissues were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The correlation analysis showed that the correlation coefficient between the expression levels of leptin gene in perirenal fat and intramuscular fat content in 84-day-old male rabbits was 0.73 (p
