MiR-27a-5p Increases Steer Fat Deposition Partly by Targeting Calcium-sensing Receptor (CASR)
Abstract Castration increases fat deposition, improving beef quality in cattle. Here, the steer group exhibited a significantly higher intramuscular fat (IMF) content than the bull group. To determine the potential roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) in castration-induced fat deposition, differential expres...
