| Improving the efficiency of production to reduce the environmental footprints is pivotal to the sustainability of livestock systems. Despite the advances in cattle feed efficiency (FE) measurement and identification of potential mechanisms involved, much is still unclear regarding the genetic and biological basis of this trait. Nevertheless, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism have been outlined as important in determining efficient and inefficient animals. To address the role of genes partaking in these processes and previously involved with residual feed intake (RFI), we carried out a liver expression profile in Nelore steers (n = 83). Six target genes (FABP1, FADS2, PPP1R26, RGS2, SLC2A5, and UCP2) were measured by qPCR analysis. A general linear mixed... |
