Effect of plane of nutrition in early life on the transcriptome of visceral adipose tissue in Angus heifer calves

Abstract Adipose tissue represents not only an important energy storage tissue but also a major endocrine organ within the body, influencing many biochemical systems including metabolic status, immune function and energy homeostasis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of an enhan...
