Abstract
Intramuscular fat (IMF) is an important economic trait for pork quality, affecting meat flavour, juiciness, and tenderness. Hence, the improvement of IMF content is one of the hotspots of animal science to provide better meat product. Here, we found that most IMF-related genes are enriched in lipid metabolism processes, including fatty acid transport and uptake, fatty acid beta oxidation, lipid synthesis, lipid storage, and lipolysis. PPAR and AMPK signalling pathways are identified to be responsible for IMF deposition. Genetics and nongenetic factors (i.e., diets, gut microbiota, age, sex, management) also positively or negatively regulate the IMF content in pigs. Taken together, this review deepens our understanding of how these factors affect pig IMF deposition and provides valuable information for moderately increasing IMF content.
肌内脂肪(IMF)是影响猪肉品质的重要经济性状,会影响肉的风味、多汁性和嫩度。因此,提高肌内脂肪含量是动物科学提供更好肉制品的热点之一。在这里,我们发现大多数 IMF 相关基因都富集在脂质代谢过程中,包括脂肪酸转运和吸收、脂肪酸 beta 氧化、脂质合成、脂质储存和脂肪分解。PPAR 和 AMPK 信号通路被确定是 IMF 沉积的原因。遗传和非遗传因素(如日粮、肠道微生物群、年龄、性别、管理)也会对猪的 IMF 含量产生积极或消极的调节作用。综上所述,本综述加深了我们对这些因素如何影响猪 IMF 沉积的理解,并为适度提高 IMF 含量提供了有价值的信息。
